Steven Van Stanford

b. 1986 — San Diego, California

Steven Van Stanford is an American abstract artist whose work has been exhibited internationally for more than two decades. His artwork has appeared in galleries, collections, and museums around the world, including Milan, Australia, and the United States. He has also collaborated with major brands such as Coca-Cola and Ford.

Today he lives and works in Summerville, South Carolina.

Van’s work explores the relationship between the spiritual and the physical world. Inspired by God, nature, and the timeless beauty found in ancient cultures, his paintings blend elements of the past with modern abstraction. Through symbolic forms, bold geometry, and carefully balanced compositions, his work seeks to express harmony between order and imagination.

Drawing influence from Renaissance art, surreal landscapes, and contemporary visual culture, Van creates pieces that feel both ancient and modern. His work often combines strong graphic structure with quiet spaces, allowing the viewer to pause, reflect, and interpret the imagery in their own way.
