Robin Okun

Artist Statement:

Artist statement:
My art making is an intuitive process of letting go of internal voices and trusting my unconscious mind. In these spaces of creativity, I notice a deep sense of awareness on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Applying layers of acrylic paint and charcoal, figures are revealed and their stories emerge. Through color, form, and line I explore the multidimensionality of female relationships with self and others. As each painting unfolds so does my capacity for personal healing and transformation.

Biography:
Robin Okun's visual voice is unique and recognizable. A focus on body language and an evocative color palette reflect her profound understanding of how we express ourselves in deeply intimate moments. Her paintings invite us to imagine each character's stories, and as we do, we often discover our own stories in her paintings.
