Hello Darkling!

I’m Samuel Bendix (Brazil / New England), a multidisciplinary artist — a proper Renaissance person. ✨

Through exploring various aesthetic identities for the musical projects I’ve been part of, I discovered my passion for the visual arts — a passion I now proudly express through my current work. My deep connection with goth and alternative subcultures, as well as the queer community, has given me the opportunity to collaborate with many inspiring artists, both on and off stage. These experiences ultimately led me to pursue formal education in visual arts (IFCE – CE, Brazil), and later to New England — the place I’ve proudly called home for the past decade.

As an artist, my purpose is to challenge the outdated notion that “everything dark is negative,” or that “everything gloomy is doomed.” It most certainly is not. The beautiful souls who gravitate toward these aesthetics are some of the most thoughtful, complex, and poetic people you’ll ever meet.

I hope my work brings a bit of shining darkness into the world — and does justice to their beauty.

De Profundis,
