About the Artist
Robert Rohan is a contemporary conceptual abstract artist whose work bridges two distinct worlds: the structural intensity of his native New York and the organic fluidity of his current home in Florida.
Rohan’s practice is rooted in conceptual art, using abstraction as a primary tool to explore non-representational themes of perception, transformation, and destiny. Through bold colors and dynamic compositions, Rohan creates visually engaging pieces that challenge the viewer to find meaning beyond the obvious.
Artist Statement
My work explores the ever-evolving journey of life — a passage through the unknown, where fragments of possibility gradually take shape and become reality. Each painting is a step into uncharted emotional and spiritual terrain, guided not by certainty but by curiosity and intuition. I begin with little more than a sense — a pull toward something unseen — and allow the process itself to lead me. What emerges is often unexpected, a reflection of discovery as much as intention.
In this way, my art heralds a record of becoming — a visual narrative where mystery gives way to meaning. Layers of texture and color mirror the layers of experience, struggle, wonder, and growth. Through creation, I invite the invisible to become visible, the imagined to become form. These works are not answers, but invitations — to explore, to feel, to reflect on the shared human experience of navigating the unknown.
Ultimately, painting is how I make sense of existence: not as a fixed path, but as an unfolding process — raw, beautiful, and alive.
Materials and Techniques
My 2D Mixed Media collection – Echoes in Dreamland – utilizes acrylic paint layered on canvas, enhanced with resin to create depth, transparency, and glassy finish, which allows for vibrant color interplay and unique textural effects. Materials listing includes gesso/modeling paste for prime and texture, acrylic paint (soft body, fluid, & markers), alcohol ink, India ink, and epoxy resin. Techniques include palette knife, brush, fine detail, and fluid art blowout (Dutch Pour).
