I'm Robriel,
I create my art from a place of cultivated
playfulness and joy. I’m often told that this quality of light-heartedness and
delight conveys in the work itself. My work tends to favor vivid, colorful
compositions, lyrical organic shapes and playful linework. It is bright, happy
art that conveys the “good vibes” from the space in which it was created.
My art draws inspiration from my work as a
Jungian psychotherapist who uses art therapeutically and from my spiritual
studies. It is intuitively created based upon images that I receive from experiences
in deep meditative states, altered states of consciousness and spiritual
exploration.
As both an artist and a psychotherapist, I
firmly believe that Art is medicine. The daily practice of making art is the
means by which I heal and restore my own spiritual vitality and mental health.
I view my art as both an expression of my own artistic vision and as a visual
energetic healing modality. I half-jokingly refer to it as “visual reiki.”
The goal in energetic healing is to restore and
maintain a person’s health and vitality. The goal of my art is the same! My
desire is to create art that is aesthetically beautiful and visually
compelling, which also resonates with the viewer in a way which brings them
joy, uplifts them, and cultivates feelings of pleasure and improved well being.
My current collection is titled “Resonance.” I
was inspired by a discussion about forms of healing which can be promoted through
the body’s resonant responses to various sound frequencies. My initial thought
following that discussion was “But isn’t color a frequency too? Thus, wouldn’t
art be able to affect healing and positive change also?”
This collection of work is my attempt to answer
the questions which followed:” What kind of art would that look like? What
would it feel like in my body to make it? What would it feel like in the
viewer’s body to observe it?”
My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
