Robin Caspari is driven to paint no matter what life circumstances surround her. She is true to this inner voice. Her goals and aspirations have remained the same over time: strive to create beautiful paintings in an unrestrained and expressive style.
“I begin a piece by looking at or thinking about my subject, and recognizing what inspires me about it. I try to keep that in mind throughout the process, while letting my instinct rule how the painting is expressed. There are times when I am extremely traditional in the application of paint, and other times I may throw or sling my paint from across the studio." Robins splits her time between painting en plein air and painting self-expressionistic abstract work in the studio. She sees her paintbrush as an extension of her soul, and her medium of choice is oil paint. When painting outdoors, she retains a simple palette; her abstract work call for a blending of mediums, such as metallic or luminescent paint, oils sticks, or charcoal.
“A painting speaks a language that is absent of words, yet all people understand in an instant. As a painter, I strive to give people the gift of expression and beauty to have in their homes. I love to enrich people’s lives with my work. Overall, the process of making a great painting is very symbolic of life itself, packed full of thought and emotion, yet stunningly simple.”
