Roberts
Contemporary still life Artist
Once I am submerged in the landscape, whether it's by the sea or sat on a high street observing, I lose all sense of time, it's just me and the paint, I'm looking for drama and contrasts, I'm feeling the emotional reactions to scenes and vistas. This is how I paint, I use all my senses and I'd like you to be with me on this journey, I think I need you to feel it too.
I am a Welsh artist of 15 years, studied through Bangor University.
The projects and paintings of the coastline and landscapes have come from wanting to capture moments of weather and the elements quickly and accurately in oils.
These pieces evoke a sense of self in relation to place and the wild rhythms of the seasons. Hopefully you will find they are an unadulterated study of the Welsh climate and conditions here on the coast.
I found that most days are ordinary and some truly extraordinary.
My still life pieces are pure studies in light and colour of the most ordinary finds and mundane objects, they are quiet paintings that rest in the Northern light of my studio, hopefully bringing out the beauty of truth.
