ABOUT THE ARTIST — STUDIO RMD

Robin M. Dubens — Contemporary Abstract Artist

Robin M. Dubens (RMD) is a contemporary abstract artist whose work blends surrealism, geometric structure, and expressive color to create emotionally resonant acrylic paintings. His style draws inspiration from the swirling energy of Van Gogh, the bold abstraction of Picasso, the surreal imagination of Dalí, and the architectural geometry of the 1920s Art Deco movement.

Working primarily in acrylic on canvas, RMD creates compositions defined by movement, symbolic layering, and a distinctive merging of realism and abstraction. His pieces are instantly recognizable for their dynamic lines, bold palettes, and a visual rhythm that captures both emotion and story.

Artistic Focus & Themes

RMD’s work centers on four core themes that form the foundation of his collections:

Wine & Winemaking Culture

Wine serves as a symbol of transformation, time, ritual, and shared human connection. These pieces are especially sought after by collectors, wine enthusiasts, and winery installations for their emotional depth and contemporary aesthetic.

Love & Human Connection

Through intertwined figures, abstract forms, and expressive motion, RMD explores the universal language of intimacy, unity, and emotional resonance.

Time, Reflection & Transformation

Many of his works incorporate multi-era concepts, symbolic transitions, and reflective structures inspired by Escher-like perspective play — offering depth and narrative immersion for the viewer.

Nature, Movement & Surreal Fusion

From geometric roots and swirling leaves to modern surreal marine themes, RMD fuses natural forms with abstract geometry to create visually captivating, contemporary works.

Style & Technique

RMD’s artistic identity is rooted in:

• expressive acrylic brushwork

• bold 1920s geometric influences

• surrealist transitions

• contemporary abstract movement

• tribal and graffiti-inspired accents

• intentional, emotionally driven color palettes

His preferred 16x20 canvas format, clean 1-inch borders, and gold-toned framing elements have become recognizable features of the Studio RMD visual signature. Each piece is crafted to stand alone or function cohesively within a larger thematic series.

Collections, Editions & Original Works

Studio RMD offers:

• original acrylic paintings

• limited-edition giclée prints (typically series of 50 or fewer)

• wine-inspired artwork for private collectors, wineries, and tasting rooms

• curated, thematic painting series with consistent style and narrative intention

Each original painting is hand-signed RMD, documented, and accompanied by a personalized Certificate of Authenticity.

Studio Philosophy

At the heart of Studio RMD is the belief that art should do more than decorate a wall — it should start a conversation, stir emotion, and feel personally meaningful to the viewer.

RMD approaches each canvas as a story in motion: layers of color, geometry, and symbolism working together to create pieces that continue to reveal themselves over time.

Artist Vision

RMD’s work is built on the idea that art can be both visually striking and deeply human. His goal is to create paintings that inspire connection, reflection, and a sense of timelessness — pieces that feel at home in private collections, galleries, and intimate spaces where people gather.

Collectors value the clarity, consistency, and story-driven approach of his work, as well as the unique fusion of techniques that define the Studio RMD aesthetic.

Artist Statement (Short Version)

“My work explores transformation — of emotion, of time, of connection. I’m drawn to the spaces where realism meets abstraction, where geometry meets movement, and where a single moment can tell a much larger story.”
