estudio de arte samuel lind

There at Carr. # 187 km. 6.6 interior | Mediania Alta, Loiza 00772, Puerto Rico A strong artist committed to ancestral cultural values

Met Mr. Lind in March of this year thru a tour with our local high school. Our guide Jesus Ayala took us to see Mr. Lind's studio!! Which really was a treat. He is proficient in many mediums. Painting, sculpting, silkscreen, etc... Really enjoyable. He is a master. Do not miss this if you are a lover of art and beautiful things. I made sure to buy a print, because I was enamored with his style!! Many varied styles are shown in his home gallery. He is a very humble and talented man, kind and gracious and willing to answer questions. A real treasure of Puerto Rico!!

We were on a tour with Charlie's Custom Day Tours in late April. We made a stop at Samuel Lind's home and art studio. The studio has beautiful paintings and sculptures. His work was truly amazing and he is such a talented artist. He took the time to answer any questions we had. My husband and I bought one of his prints, now we wish we would have purchased a larger one...that just means we have to go back.

Carlitos of Charlie's Custom Day Tours brought me to this amazing studio. Samuel Lind's talents are breathtaking. I was spellbound from the moment I entered the studio. He was so kind and gracious to open his work to me, my daughter, and friend. His talent is beyond words. I was enchanted by his portrayals on canvas. He was very patient as we paged through his portfolios. This is a gallery that must be seen if you travel to San Juan.

Samuel Lind's work is incredible. We were directed to his studio by the Ayala family, which has its home featuring the masks the family makes just across the street from where Samuel has his studio. Samuel was extremely kind and welcoming when our group of 5 stopped by to visit. When we entered his lovely studio, we were met with some of the most beautiful and creative artwork I have ever seen. The only artwork that has touched me as deeply is that of Gaudi that I saw while in Barcelona. If you are ever in Puerto Rico, you will have seen a rare talent if you visit Samuel's gallery. This place is truly not to be missed. I had promised myself that I would not visit Puerto Rico again, because I found many of the people to be quite unpleasant in my two trips there. But, now, I am determined to go back just to see Samuel's new work and to purchase more of the incredible artistry.

There were 8 of us. We'd travelled to Loiza because we hoped to see where the Africans lived in Puerto Rico. We hoped to make some connections. Our tour guide has insisted we go to Loiza and meet the Ayala family. The Ayala family maintains the traditional culture of Africans in Puerto Rico. They were not home. So we were instead guided to Samuel Lind's art studio. We entered this totally unassuming house style gallery and immediately felt the presence of spirit in every painting, every sculpture. Samuel, the artist was so pleased to have visitors and surprisingly humble about his work. Much of it was influenced by African traditional spirituality, but also the Catholic influences were present. There were a number of gorgeous images of the Bomba drum and dancing. He always paints the Bomba drum as a face, or root because it holds tradition, he told us. He also shared with us that he mostly paints what he sees - by that he means he sees the spirit behind a scene or experience or person. As he walked and guided us through the different pieces, our eyes beaming with the vivid display of colours in every one of them, we became more and more emotional about what we were not simply seeing - but experiencing. It seemed odd that such magnificent work should be in this little hide away. But this made the experience even more special - that we had come to this little place to connect with Africans, who for the most part seem hidden in Puerto Rico and found this incredible outpouring of talent, inspired by the spirit of Africans. The beautiful basques - particularly one of the lady in a blue dress, her face stretching to the light in the back of the studio, her hands perfectly poised with somekind of power we identified as ancestral took our breath away. The women in the group released their tears, the men held theirs back but we were all humbled by the experience. We had honoured our ancestors earlier at the beach, but our meeting Samuel was their gift to us. There is so much to write about his work but I don't think this will bring it to life as much as going there and experiencing it for yourself and telling others of the marvellous energy hiding in Loiza.

Samuel Lind and his lovely wife were wonderful hosts. The studio was filled with treasures and they spent a lot of time with us explaining his paintings and sculptures. Prices ranged from affordable to bucket list purchases, but there is such authencity in his works, it is a trip not to be missed.

Senor Lind is a very talented artist, and he and his fluent English-speaking wife (?) welcomed us to their lovely studio and home. The art ranges greatly in style and cost, but we bought several very affordable prints, that will enhance our home and remind us of our vacation -- and a more more authentic and lasting souvenir than the cheapo stuff imported from China that is available everywhere. We also stopped at the souvenir craft shop across the street and bought a charming handmade sailing ship made from coconut shells. We stayed nearby at the Aquatika condos.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with Samuel Lind and our tour of his studio. We purchased several screen prints. They are beautifully done and will provide a wonderful memory of our trip. It is tough to find the studio. It is on a quiet street in Loiza, Puerto Rico. Most travel books include the phone number so we called and got very helpful directions from Samuel and his wife.

El estudio es una casa tipica, con coloridos y vegetacion bellos. Samuel fue muy amigable y atento. Yo regresaria a su estudio
