What Robert says about his work:
My recent work has been influenced by satellite imagery of the earth; I use high color resolution photos as a departure into the world of abstraction.  This macro-perspective allows me to experiment with shape and form, organizing the chaos of an expansive space into an artificial landscape that inspires and peaks my sense of wonder.  I want to travel to these imaginary spaces and get lost in the fantasy world that emerges.   The brilliance of color and layers present give the work a spatial connotation, suggesting without describing a playful use of the elements water, air, earth and fire within the composition.
