Hello, I'm Dreamsword Art.

Born in Berwyn​,​ Illinois​,​ Robert grew up in Oak Park​,​ Illinois until his mid twenties. Robert spent a month on a Navajo reservation in the late nineties​,​ and that experience left a profound impact on his life. That experience changed the way Robert sees this world and why he paints. Robert is currently based in Mchenry​,​ IL​,​ and he is a self-taught artist who pursued his art later in his life. His work is described as a journey into a world of energy and dreams which he refers to as Dreamsword Art. Robert feels like he’s got one foot in this world holding a paintbrush and one in the other holding a dream sword cutting through the symbolism of his dreams. The subjects of Roberts’ artwork tend to relate to metaphysical or esoteric themes​,​ but Robert’s prefers to work with whatever comes out of his dreams. "I feel that all things are energy​,​ and it is possible to put energy and intent into whatever medium. What inspires me is the beauty in mystery. The energy I put into my work are like dreamscapes​,​ they take you somewhere you've never been. I like the vivid use of color​,​ and creating spaces that make you feel something."
