"The strong blocks of color used by Robin grab me, and by showing me what she feels about herself, her body, her story, makes me reflect on how I see myself, my body, my story. To me, that is what art is about. As Picasso said, 'We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.'

ARTIST STATEMENT My paintings are abstract explorations of the female form, characterized by vibrant color, dynamic movement, and expressive gestures. Through layering charcoal and acrylics, engaging figures emerge from depths of color, revealing intimate narratives of identity, vulnerability, and transformation. Inspired by my work as a somatic psychotherapist, my art explores the complexities of the female experience. These works are visual reflections of deeply personal journeys, both my own and those of the women I portray. ARTIST BIO Robin's visual language explores the human experience through a contemporary lens, characterized by emotionally resonant paintings and a vibrant color palette. Her work is a testament to skillful and imaginative use of line, shape, composition, and color, layered with acrylic and charcoal on canvas. With a recurring focus on the female figure. Robin invites viewers into an intimate exploration of female identity, conveyed with profound emotional sensitivity.
