Fine artist based in Tilburg, The Netherlands.
Robin gives you a peek into her obsessions. The Dutch countryside life with her cultural charms and rigidity, fears that take on nightmare-ish figures, human relationships from the local football club, or between parent and child, are sources of inspiration which Robin bites their big shiny teeth in for a period of time. The artist pours these subjects, with a dash of absurdism, into a recognizable mould. The relationship between father and daughter gets translated into a world made of wrinkly formal shoes, and nightmares become horses with black dots and vampire teeth.
By combining different materials, Robin builds different worlds made out of oil paint, wood, collage, fabrics, ceramics and drawings. Working with various materials gives an opportunity for the conceptual layers from the ultra personal subjects to be revealed.
