“Nature can at times offer offer peaceful beauty but can also be a world of uncharted territory and the unknown. The style of the figure is influenced by Cycladic fertility figures, early Byzantine, iconic paintings, and folk art among others.The figure acts as the canvas or setting for the images that use to tell a narrative. These figures are my attempt to explore our universal quest to understand the directions our lives go. Using images such as birds and plants, as metaphors for mythic flight, spirituality, the intangible, and nature’s forces I am hoping to bring my personal searching into a more shared exploration.” – Robin Grebe
