Robert Hickox

I have loved art since I was a small child. A simple piece of paper and pencil was all that was needed to open an amazing world of imagination.When a work is going well, it flows like water. It’s exciting when the artist inside takes over, everything seems almost effortless.There’s something special about seeing a thought in your head transform into a piece of art before your eyes. I want to touch the world with my work. Not a soft nudge on the door of emotions, but rather to kick the door down. To have it reach out and grab you, leaving you breathless.

The style used is mainly abstract expressionism and cubism with impressionist brush strokes. Taking the fractured pieces and moments in life and bringing them together to form the whole.

The major influences on my art is, Passion, Love, Sensuality, and Life. What point is there to life if we don't experience it? The feeling of Passion found in the excitement and expressions of those who embrace the journey of life, both great and small, happy and sad, no matter how profound or insignificant it may seem to others. To know how deeply Love touches the heart. The embrace of ones lover, and the ecstasy of intimacy. And most important, Life, so precious and fleeting, is but a moment...

I'm a self taught artist, though I took art all through High School and had a great mentor Marvin Newton.
