As a little boy, Robert dreamed of becoming a zoo keeper. Today, the lions, tigers and elephants that roamed his imagination are given new life in his dazzling paintings.

He has returned for 2017 with Instinct: a collection inspired by his love of music and animals.

Robert says: "I was asked to paint an elephant on a portrait-orientated canvas. I dismissed it, saying it wouldn't work. My son reminded me that I keep telling people I can make anything work, so I did."
