About
Entirely self-taught, Sam’s work blends classical technique with raw, cinematic intensity, often walking the line between realism and the surreal.
His earliest sketches were done alone in school notebooks, where drawing became a quiet resistance to the noise around him. Over time, those sketches turned into large-scale acrylic paintings that now live in private collections and sacred spaces across the country.
Known for his time-sensitive print drops and dramatic compositions, Sam’s work explores themes of sacrifice, power, and the unseen forces that shape us.
What followed was an unexpected rise. Sam’s paintings began circulating online, amassing over a million followers and catching the attention of public figures across industries.
His work has been shared by names like Joe Rogan, Morgan Freeman, and President Donald Trump — who owns an original Sam Ryan displayed in Mar-a-Lago.
He now paints from a private studio in the South, releasing new works sparingly.
His newsletter subscribers have a better chance to collect prints and originals before the general public.
