Nairika Kotwal Cornett Introduces Sam Cintrón as Juror at the Quinlan

“How do we exist without knowing somebody like this exists?”

When the Quinlan Visual Arts Center introduced Sam Cintrón as juror of its 79th Annual Members’ Exhibition, its director told the story of the day she first walked into his Sugar Hill studio. What she expected, what she found, and what she said about his work is best heard in her own words. Some introductions are polite. This one came straight from the heart.

Art Inspires Art. 🦉🎨

Sometimes, inspiration finds us when we least expect it.

While visiting the Seller’s Gallery at Brenau University, Sam Cintrón shared a story about a friend who photographed an owl, a photograph that inspired Sam to consider creating a painting of his own. Then, surrounded by the beautiful owl artwork in the gallery, he was reminded of something every artist knows: art inspires art.

Creativity has a wonderful way of building upon itself. One artist’s vision can spark an idea in another, opening the door to new interpretations, possibilities, and discoveries.

A special thank you to Nairika, Director of the Quinlan Visual Arts Center, for taking us on a tour of the beautiful galleries at Brenau University. We had no idea how much beauty and artistic richness existed within these walls. We are grateful for the opportunity to experience it firsthand!

Have you ever encountered a work of art that inspired you to create something of your own? We would love to hear about it in the comments.

Watch to the end and Pre-Save Now!

Truth. Beauty. Goodness.

These are not ideas that survive on their own. They must be protected, cultivated, and lived.

As I reflect on the course of civilization, I find one irony impossible to ignore:

“The greatest irony of civilization is this: truth, beauty, and goodness do not survive by accident. They must be fought for. Yet our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of the unseen world that seek to corrupt them. Why, then, do we insist on seeking first the physical weapons of war?”

~Sam Cintrón

What I’ve learned from creating thumbnail sketches is that they are much more than practice exercises. They are fragments of future works.

Before a painting ever reaches the canvas, it often begins here, in charcoal and watercolor. These studies allow ideas to grow, compositions to evolve, and visual relationships to emerge. Many of the large-scale paintings you see in the studio first existed as these small explorations.

Every finished work begins with a single idea.

Behind the scenes of Redimi2’s latest music video, “NCB 20A - No Canto Basura.”

We were honored to welcome Redimi2 and the production team from Parabola Films into CintrónVidal Art & Design Studios as portions of the music video were filmed among the original artworks of artist Samuel Cintrón.

In this behind-the-scenes footage, Samuel Cintrón shares a glimpse of the studio setup, highlights several of the original paintings featured throughout the video, and introduces film producer David Jassir, whose creative vision helped bring this powerful project to life. The scene being filmed is Chapter 1, “Dali,” a visually compelling segment that brings together music, storytelling, and fine art.

It is always inspiring to witness the intersection of music, visual art, storytelling, and faith, especially when creative collaborations bring together artists from different disciplines in pursuit of a shared vision.

Have you spotted the Samuel Cintrón artworks that appear throughout the music video?

Watch for the paintings, the symbolism, and the details hidden throughout the production.

There is something profoundly beautiful about the way art has the power to unite both purpose and people.

Qué hermoso es cuando el arte encuentra la manera de unir propósitos y personas.

Some time ago, I had the privilege of meeting this dear friend and, today, watching him film his latest music video inside my studio, surrounded by original works that carry fragments of my story and artistic soul, reminded me that creativity can also become a bridge between visions, passions, and destinies.

Hace un tiempo conocí a este gran amigo y, hoy, verlo filmar su más reciente video en mis estudios, rodeado de obras originales que forman parte de mi historia y de mi esencia, me recuerda que la creatividad también puede ser un puente entre visiones, pasiones y destinos.

Several original paintings by artist Samuel Cintrón appear quietly throughout the video, almost subliminally. So take a moment to watch it in full, and pay close attention to the final frame.

Varias pinturas originales del artista Samuel Cintrón aparecen de manera sutil, casi subliminal, dentro del video. Así que vayan a verlo completo y presten atención a la imagen final.
