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 fell in love with the clouded leopard whilst watching Patrick Aryee’s Big Cats: An Amazing Animal Family. They are the greatest climbers and gymnasts of the big cats."
