From Neuroscience...... to Oil Painting
Robert's Story and Art Creation
Robert had classic training in Pharmacy, Pharmacology, Neuroscience and Stem Cell Biology. During lockdown, he started to create oil painting. Due to the limit of his eyesight that Robert was diagnosed not to be able to see a real 3D image, he has been developing techniques to illustrate so-called “3D” images through his eyes. Creating oil painting calms him down and helps him to be able to concentrate and focus on what he is doing at that moment. It also lifts up the tension in his mind coming from Autism. He loves communicating with people through his paintings. Reaching a wider range of audience will help me developing his style.
The Journey leading to RRR Gallery
When Robert is creating art work, he enjoys the happiness and satisfaction through my brushes and knives. He collects ideas through daily life. Some of the topics are shouting out loud in his face. Subsequently, he does some research on the topic. Naturally, there are designs showing up in his mind. He is eager to paint the pictures out on my canvas. It does changes from time to time while creating the works. It is the beauty of oil paintings that it develops from adding one layer to another. It properly represents the abundance and diversity of his ideas. The process is very satisfied . It brings lots of optimisation and enjoyment to him helping me overcome the mental stress from autism. He loves to share his experience with more people, especially encouraging people with autism and those who are experiencing difficulties in their life. There is always the light at the end of the tunnel.
Autism is a personality people were born with. It is not a disease to cure. We just need a bit adjustment and love.
I wrote my experience as an autistic individual. It is a way to understand myself and share with people wanting to know what is inside an autisticmind.
