robiwanders

is the art project alias of robiwan _{(roh-bee-won),} a Rochester-based, QTPOC artist who loves working with color. Color is one of the primary ways robi understands the world. They use color, shapes, and textures in their art to symbolize and represent sounds, emotions, and energies. Robi sees color as a recurring inspiration and a "main character" of his visual art.🇬🇺🇵🇭🌈✊🏽

why beads?

The bracelets I wear every day (above) are really meaningful to me, and I want to create art that makes people feel something, like mine do.I really enjoy putting together things that are visually interesting by themselves, and creating art with them arranging them to make something new. Beading feels like a type of painting, a type of collage, and a type of mosaic. The different colors, shapes, and textures feel creatively stimulating.I started this endeavor to raise money for my queer theme camp, but found it extremely creatively exciting. Now, I'm eager to continue growing my craft and sharing the art I make :)

robi's bio

they | he ☀ 28 ☀ qtpoc

Robiwan is a brown, multiracial, queer, genderfluid, polyamorous, neurodivergent, transmasc femme(boy(toy)), a seasonal goth, and an inscrutable creature who enjoys making art, music, and animal noises. Robi thinks anything that brought them joy to create can be considered art. He expresses himself artistically primarily through beading, painting, collaging, music, and styling outfits.Outside of their visual art, robi enjoys thrifting, radical self-expression, planning their next tattoo, building queer community, and making music with their band, MISSU KISSU._{If you are interested in donating to support robi's art, please visit their ko-fi!}
