About the Author:

​

Robert's first book, Quantum Sense, How to Ally with Change, Growth, and Creativity, about the effects of natures generative process was released in 2019. The second edition, renamed Finding Your Quantum Sense, How to Enhance Mindfulness, Perception, and Creativity, was released in 2024.

 

As an undergraduate at Santa Clara University, Robert became influenced by the tenacity of the human condition and intrigued by the forces that drive change. His curiosity about the transmutational properties of creativity drove him to analyze the quantum source of nature's generative process, including its role in mindfulness, perception and creativity. Devoted to nature and humanity, Robert finds the creative process everywhere. "The building blocks of chaos and order align as progenitors of the human condition, the momentum behind our actions and the unrelenting source of universal unrest."

About the Artist:

Robert began painting to discover ways in which language could coalesce with visual composition to achieve a higher form of expression. Encompassing the abstract, conceptual and figurative, much of Robert’s work deals with the changing face of nature and the human condition. In 2007, Robert began mixing transformational elements such as fire, with more conventional mediums, such as oils, inks and acrylics to create lasting impressions of transient nature. Given his affinity for transitional mediums, his reverence for all aspects of nature and his desire to celebrate life, in 2010, Robert began merging cremated ashes into memorial art to create posthumous monuments.

 

Robert's work has been sold around the world and displayed in museums, and solo and group exhibitions in the United States. He now divides his studio time between conventional and memorial commissions and championing ways to improve quality of life by activating the life affirming power of creativity.
