My early works predominantly comprised stand-alone pieces, mostly highly realistic portraits. However, over the years, I have broadened my artistic horizons, challenging myself to explore new avenues. My new painting series, Manicis, which is currently under development, is the culmination of this evolution. Manicis invites the audience to contemplate as it delves into the depths of the human experience, touching on themes such as self-discovery, identity, self-development, authenticity, and acceptance. Here, I transcend my earlier realistic works, embracing a more personal, narrative, and conceptual approach while mixing my known realistic painting style with more experimental brushwork and varied color palettes.

While Manicis is currently in progress, updates are being shared on my Instagram page as the series nears completion.​​​​​​​ Follow Robbin on Instagram
