Robert Miller Fine Art

Fine art that balances between realism and abstraction.

About the Artist

Fine artists like me search for a balance between polarities: between realism and abstraction, between classical and experimental techniques. My inventive approach to abstraction is by blending these traditional techniques with modernist styles. I have spent decades chasing a vision to capture the beauty of creation and light down on canvas. Constantly challenging myself to capture the moments around me with the people I love. My beautiful wife, two kids, along with a son and daughter-in-law, and so far two amazing grand kids.

I had every intention to be an artist when I attended the College of Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan in pursuit of a fine art degree. Thanks to the technical side of my brain it resulted in a successful career in graphic design and art direction for some small agencies and now a large commercial direct mail print company. This design career and raising a family kind of put my love for acrylics on canvas on hold. Until recently, the opportunity to return to this love has opened the door to creating some beautiful pieces.

"Every brush stroke tells a story."

A story of my experimentation, resilience, perseverance and the search to capture light. There is depth of emotions and experience behind every artwork. Resulting in a multi-layered personality that shines across the canvas.

My hopeful desire, just like any artist, is to give viewers a unique opportunity to contemplate and appreciate their surroundings, seeing them in a new and fresh way.
