Robin grew up surrounded by art, having both his parents work as artists and art tutors, he spent much of his childhood in studios and galleries, immersed in both traditional and contemporary practices. That early exposure sparked a lifelong fascination with drawing, painting and sculpture, and in 2017 he decided to pursue a career in Art. Stating with training in classical techniques at London Fine Art Studios, he continued developing through self-directed study – attending both in-person and online art schools, and learning through books, videos, and museum visits across Europe. The challenge to acquire a certain level of proficiency in drawing and painting has been a major focus of his education, and doing so has ultimately allowed him to experiment and expand artistically. All these experiences have given Robin a unique understanding of the logistics of drawing and painting as well as the learning process, something which he’s always excited to share with students. His current practice is rooted in representational art, often exploring narrative and figurative themes, however he draws inspiration from a wide range of sources. Robin’s work has been exhibited in both London and Essex, with his portrait ‘Gaze’ notably receiving the Heatherleys Drawing Award at the 75th Chelsea Art Society exhibition. As an artist and educator, Robin is passionate about sharing his experiences and methodology with others. His teaching allows for individual learning styles and goals, and is committed to helping students develop a deep understanding of the traditional arts. Ensuring students grasp both the theoretical and practical aspects of representational art, he aims to give each student a complete strategy. This allows them to tackle the difficult task of interpreting what we see with our eyes and learn how to put this down on paper or canvas. By breaking down this information into digestible lessons, Robin aims to allow students to apply what they learn practically and help them realise their artistic aspirations.
