Robyn Palescandolo

My artistic philosophy is deeply rooted in minimalism and a profound appreciation for simplicity. Over the past years, I have embraced a slower, more meditative approach to life, and this shift has strongly informed my art. I am drawn to the quiet beauty of imperfect everyday objects, seeking to distill their essence into my work in a way that reveals their deep significance.

My process combines realism with spontaneous, painterly brushwork, focusing intently on each subject to explore its inherent value. To me, these objects are not mundane or ordinary; they are treasures—luxuries that are often overlooked in the rush of daily life. By stripping away the noise and distractions, I aim to highlight the exquisite elegance of the familiar, the often unnoticed.

I believe that the world is filled with wonder, and my art serves as a reminder to slow down and truly see. I invite viewers to look beyond the surface and rediscover the extraordinary in the ordinary. In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, I seek a moment of stillness, a chance to reconnect with the simple and the sublime.
