Sam Pepere (b. 2000) is a London-born and New York-based painter. His work explores complex feelings of angst, savagery, and gore, morphing into an exquisite interplay of bleak yet soft images.

Pepere's mix of unsettling and multifaceted paintings illustrates his perspective on everyday objects and the way he interprets them. He blurs imaginative storytelling and reality, transforming liquid into forms and forms into liquid, recasting ordinary images into mystical presentations. He is on a constant search for discovery, layering intricate imagery of death, animals and nature, subtle satire, and symbols of the unknown. He is driven by a keen sense of curiosity, ranging from the exploration of past lives and intrigue of the supernatural, using his artmaking as a coping mechanism for release and growth, a self-healing journey.
