Rob is a figurative painter who explores the idea of identity and how we present ourselves to the world through our appearance. He sees clothing as a reflection of how we would like to be perceived and he combines this with other motifs like hair, make up and posture as ways of representing an individual’s identity.
Rob uses scale and colour to create a strong sense of emotion in his work. His paintings range from carefully posed full-figure portraits to spontaneous moments that aim to capture an unfiltered view into the subjects identity.
After studying to Post Graduate level in the British art school system, Rob spent many years building a successful career as an illustrator working in both traditional and digital media. In 2021, he made the shift to figurative painting full-time and now exhibits his work both in the UK and internationally whilst also working on private commissions.
Rob currently works out of his studio in Surrey, UK.
