Seine
künstlerische Heimat findet der in Surinam geborene Evert A. Robles
sowohl in der Malerei und Grafik, als auch in der Fotografie. Besonderes
Augenmerk legt er dabei auf das erotische Portrait, wobei ihm die
Persönlichkeit seiner Protagonisten die interessanteste Dimension an
der Lust zu sein scheint. denn seien es Blicke, Perspektiven, Licht oder
Farben, Formen oder Bewegungen, immer spürt man die Neugier des
Künstlers auf die verschiedenen Wesensarten seiner Modelle. Die
bisweilen fast melancholisch machende Exaltiertheit seiner
Bildkompositionen ist schließlich das herausragende Element in der
Kunst Robles, die diese so eindringlich und einzigartig macht...

Humanity has one
consciousness. This, I try to communicate through my art. My style is a
synthesis of all times and cultures.
Background
Robles was born on December 20,1965 in Paramaribo, Surinam. This small
country in South America is one of the most culturally diverse places on
earth. At the age of 6, his family moved to Europe, and spent the next 14
years in Holland, Germany, and then the United States. At 20 he decided to
return to Amsterdam where he currently lives and works.
His inspiration comes from mass media, and painters like Picasso and
surrealist, Dali. From these influences Robles has shaped his unique
style. In his own personal way he brings the world together in his art
Evolution
Robles decided to pursue art as a career at the age of 18, creating
detailed and realistic drawings. On a quest to broaden his horizons Robles
returned to Holland, a land with a rich artistic heritage. During the next
two years he concentrated on drawing nude models, and began experimenting
with different techniques and materials. In 1988, Robles co-founded “Art
Beam”, an advertising agency. Here he developed a style that integrated
photography with painting. Five years later Robles made his debut with
solo exhibitions at two art galleries in Amsterdam. Since then he has been
exploring new territory in the field of multimedia. This led to his
involvement with the direction & production of music videos. In the
year 2000 Robles participated in “Detroit Focus 2000”, a photography
exhibition, where he was featured at in the Johanson Charles Gallery with:
”Goddess” a series of digital photo-graphics.
Message
The themes of Robles’ art reflect his “Fin de siecle” approach to
humanity: One stands still and looks back as well as ahead in his
existence. Where is humanity at the beginning of the 21st century? What
will the future bring? Collective symbolism is constantly evolving and
changing. The dramatic social perception of the new millennium offers the
opportunity for reassessment of time gone by, and conscious evolution from
it. Robles offers his unique symbolism as a positive contribution to this
global process. He believes art should challenge us to look deeper,
beneath the surface, into the Soul. It should be spiritual and open our
imaginations, echoing both the past and the future.
