Sam is looking forward to returning to the Art Battle Auckland stage. Inspired by spiritual and esoteric themes, Sam celebrates the idea that all the great art of history was created in order to come closer to the unseen reality. Sam primarily uses oil paint and spray paint - although you will often find him adding UV, for extra effect with a focus on sacred geometry and geometric patterns.

From the artist:

I am looking forward to competing again. It is such a fun challenge and always awesome to meet other artists, and to paint in front of a crowd.

From the artist:

To me, art is born from chaos—from messy ideas, unpredictable movements, and moments of risk. In this art battle we’re taking chances, embracing the mess and transforming raw energy into something real. Watch as we turn chaos into beauty.

Jerome van Rijn

From the artist:

Hey everyone I’m Jerome van Rijn born and raised in Auckland New Zealand.

The imagery that my work depicts, has been carefully curated and developed to highlight growth through the medium of the flower.

The flowers fully blossomed form is a metaphor for one’s self in the hope that we all get the chance to become the best versions of our self’s. The river which the flower floats on resembles the flow of life and that we must all feel the flow of the river and enjoy the journey.

Enjoy the art battle please don’t hesitate to come and chat on the night and enjoy the good vibes and artworks being created.
