French, b. 1960 Raphaël Robic was born in Nanterre, Paris-Isle-of-France, to a Breton father and a Coriscan mother. He studied at the Paris Fine Arts School and then entered the prestigious School of Decorative Arts, after which he attended ESAM (Higher School of Modern Art) for two years of intensive study. He started his career in advertising and created “First Day” postage stamps for the French government, then becoming “Painter of the Army”. Robic is a popular first class landscape painter, and has been the subject of many television interviews in France. His work hangs in numerous international collections. Twelve of his paintings have been acquired by the Cercle des Armees and three by President Mitterand. Robic is influenced by the landscape that surrounds him. He is also very influenced by the intense colours found in nature; limpid and brilliant blues, lemon yellows, ochre mixed with intense touches of deep chocolate brown and sometimes black. Like all great colourists, Robic particularly likes the use of shadows and their various shades of grays. |
