BEAUTIFUL BIZARRE ARTIST DIRECTORY | We are excited to welcome artist @theartistrobert ⭐
theartistrobert is a Suffolk-based fine art oil painter best known for his ‘geo-figurative’ works and quirky still lifes and a member of the Visual Artists Association. His figurative works derive their meaning based on the model’s body language or expression and perceived cue whilst his still lifes are designed on word plays or moments designed to raise a thought or a smile. He enjoys the interplay of the organic figure with linear and ovoid geometric forms bound together in a tight colour harmony and composition, and now leans towards an intuitive approach having studied formal composition and colour theory. His figurative outlines express his desire to communicate the electric energy, often latent, within the human form and his use of ‘guard’ lines to protect the model is a personal stylistic choice.

BEAUTIFUL BIZARRE ARTIST DIRECTORY | We are excited to welcome artist @sebastia.marti ⭐
Sebastià Martí Benedí is a visual artist and illustrator. He introduces himself with four brushstrokes. He defines his work with a few labels (that thing as odious as practical), they would probably be: symbolism, surrealism, eroticism and humor. Working primarily with watercolor, which he appreciates for its fluidity and precision, his artistic practice also includes pencil and ink drawing, digital illustration and oil painting. His diverse approach allows him to explore different styles and subjects, making each work a unique visual experience. Drawing inspiration from the complexity of human emotions and sensations, he explores themes of love, fear, desire, sadness, humor and the passage of time. He describes his inner world as a kind of forest where the beautiful and unsettling coexist, giving rise to strange, sometimes provocative imagery.
