My name is Sam Stiner and I am a lifelong resident of Colorado. I am currently living and working in Arvada Colorado. I have been painting for 8 years and have completed a 6-month residency at The Walnut Gallery, and I have displayed solo exhibitions at Trident Booksellers and Cafe, Ziggi's Coffee, and Inkberry Books. I believe that the line between philosophy and art is non-existent, and I view my paintings, drawings and sculptures as the abstract-surrealist, and abstract-absurdist response to post-modern thought. I use non-representational techniques to convey post-modern existentialism and anarcho-socialist ideology, and to provide a window into the struggles of living with bipolar disorder in a late-stage capitalist society. 

​

I have been influenced by Elaine de Kooning, Vasily Kandinsky, Peter Kropotkin, Angela Davis, and Aldus Huxley.
