Dear Friend,
Belóved Gallery is honored to welcome Sam Ryan—renowned artist, influencer, and storyteller—joining us for a second year at the 3rd Annual Fall Affair on October 24-25 in Marble Falls, Texas.
Sam is an artist and influencer whose colorful portrayals of Jesus have inspired a generation. His expressive use of acrylics and mixed media brings powerful stories to life, evoking both spiritual depth and emotional connection. Known for large-scale, dynamic works that pulse with bold colors and raw beauty, Sam’s art has resonated with millions across the globe.
Meet Sam Ryan
Sam Ryan is a fine artist and author whose work blends classical technique with raw, cinematic intensity, often walking the line between realism and the surreal. Self-taught, Sam’s earliest sketches were completed in school notebooks, eventually evolving into large-scale acrylic paintings that now reside 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. His paintings have amassed over a million followers, catching the attention of public figures such as Morgan Freeman and President Donald Trump, who owns an original Sam Ryan displayed in Mar-a-Lago.
At the 2025 Symphony of Art, Sam will take the stage to live-embellish a print of one of his new stirring pieces: “Custos Invicta” (Unconquered Guardian), his powerful depiction of the archangel Michael. This masterwork, featuring 24k gold leaf and layered acrylics, honors the protectors—the ones who hold the line in silence and strength. Saint Michael stands in the shadows, sword drawn, wings darkened by battle. His blade is gilded with 24k gold to reflect what is worth defending. At his side is a lamb needing to be found, untouched, unharmed, still standing.
This special performance—Sam’s signature, expressive painting in real time—will culminate in the unveiling of the fully embellished print of Custos Invicta on the Symphony of Art! stage.
The embellished print will be auctioned at the Belóved Gala, the evening of October 25th, with all proceeds supporting Belóved Gallery’s mission.
Also featured during the Fall Affair weekend will be a Sam Ryan original painting, never before seen in public! Sam’s new masterpiece will be on view in Belóved Gallery’s foyer as part of the guided tour. Make sure you reserve your free General Admission ticket to Symphony of Art! to receive access to register for the free tour of Akiane: The Early Years—and be among the first to see Sam’s newest painting.
