The woman depicts the victim, who can neither look into the mirror (a reflection of her behavior), and it is doubtful that even if she did look, she may not see, as she is handicapped with a blindfold, which highlights her predicament. Additionally, the monkey as her enabler, is offering her a pillow, and the crocodile is the predator, always lurking. Her foundation is never good, as it is continually shrinking and fraying, evidenced by the tattered towel beneath her. The irony is that she is shackled to this life unless she can look into the mirror and by doing so, free herself. Otherwise, she is doomed to this charade, evidenced by her bright dancer's feathers and her costume.

I like to paint visuals that tell some kind of a story. Some may be in the form of a portrait and figurative in nature, others more allegorical in nature. Some of the themes I have explored are psychological allegories, alienation using mannequins, surreal landscapes, toxic masculinity, women and desserts. I think the viewer will pick up on the intriguing juxtaposition that is often present and oftentimes, hopefully, the humor. My artworks have been acquired by collectors all over the world. I started exhibiting in 2007, after painting and drawing since the early 70s. I have been featured in galleries, magazines and art guides, including the Miami Herald's Guide to Art Basel. "Robin's style it's easy to see is grounded in graphic design, much like Warhol, Indiana and many other of the 20th century masters. Robin has managed to create a style that takes cues from many different influences, yet is unique in its execution and unique in the fact that it appeals to such a broad audience." ~Vincent Harrison / Castle Fitzjohns Gallery, NYC
