Because We Are So Brave Painting

Sander Steins (Netherlands, 1973) has sold his art in over 30 different countries, on all continents worldwide. Among numerous satisfied clients and collectors you'll find celebrities and companies from the tech-industry, film/advertising industry, beauty/fashion industry, real estate and the high-end hospitality industry. In an age of digital censorship, commodified aesthetics, and cultural numbness, he stands in deliberate opposition. His work fuses the raw with the refined... organic textures scarred by digital decay, industrial ghosts haunting natural landscapes. Steins constructs and deconstructs, working in layers that feel more like geological time than clean design. His art doesn't ask to be liked; it demands to be felt. Often banned or shadowed for challenging corporate control and ideological conformity, Steins' art refuses to be polite. Through abstraction, contrast, and visual disruption, he creates space for truth... the kind that’s inconvenient, confrontational, and essential. But beneath the static and rust, there's always a signal: a call to reclaim your space, to reconnect with the wild, and to build something real out of the ruins!
