Samuel Quinteros was born in Australia and graduated with honors from Sydney College of the Arts in 2013. H
His artistic practice centers on portraiture and figuration, exploring emotional depth through expressive brushwork and psychological narratives. Quinteros often blends memory, identity, and personal experience in his work, creating compositions that shift between the intimate and surreal. His painterly language draws from everyday life while challenging traditional boundaries of representation. 

Quinteros has exhibited extensively, including solo exhibitions at Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest and Incinerator Art Space, Sydney. He has also participated in Hatched at Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, Art Stage Singapore, and group exhibitions with Galerie pompom, Sydney.

He received the Zelda Stedman Young Artist Scholarship in 2011 and the Australia Council Visual Arts Travel Fund in 2013.
