The Whimsical Paintings of Samuel Popovich » Design You Trust — Design Daily Since 2007

Samuel Popovich is an oil painter from Colorado, USA, celebrated for his playful, whimsical art featuring frogs, quirky animals, and imaginative scenes.

His love for painting began after binge-watching Bob Ross as a child, and he aims to create art that immediately brings happiness and warmth to viewers rather than focusing on serious or deeply intellectual themes. Popovich’s works often blend humor, vibrant colors, and expressive characters, making his Instagram account—where he shares oil paintings, prints, and light-hearted reels—popular with over 177,000 followers. He also collaborates with brands and donates proceeds from some art sales to environmental causes like coral reef restoration. Popovich’s message is simple: art should make people smile and feel better from the moment they see it.
