The archetype of the spiral drew the attention of artist Sam Brown and has influenced the imagery of his artwork over many years. See more of his stunning paintings by visiting his website.
My Spiral Series seems, at times, a chronology of symbols, subjects and information I’ve come across in my own journey of being human.
The notion that the world is much more than it seems is a sensibility which, since childhood, has been at the core of my personal interest and my fervor for making art. Many of my early themes were explorations into science fiction and fantasy worlds.
These subjects eventually led into other areas such as anthropology, cryptozoology and mysticism, to name a few.
When I was in my twenties, I first came to New Mexico and was overwhelmed by the beautiful terrain and the native cultures. I have always admired primitive art—especially petroglyphs and tribal, mythic forms.
My love of the Southwest, not surprisingly, has inspired my own inner tribal symbology which you’ll see reflected in much of my artwork.
My early journeys into New Mexico stayed with me, and I felt a strong connection to my discoveries there in some way, although I couldn’t explain just how. Those road trips of my youth were really inspiring and I’ve never forgotten them.
Four years ago I came to New Mexico to pursue a small dream I had set aside. I wanted to live as an artist in a desert of mystery, and sell my art to the world.
My adventure has had many highs and lows, but has always been full of beautiful vistas which continue to unfold.
Since January 2014, I have operated as Sam Brown Art, sending prints and original paintings to many people in countries across the globe.
I occupy a small studio with a magic garden in the desert world of Abiquiu, New Mexico—where beauty and inspiration are always a glance away.
