Robert van de Graaf (b. 1983, the Netherlands) is a visual artist living and working in The Hague, the Netherlands. He is interested in exploring the intersection and connections between his inner (spiritual) life, the philosophy of (daily) life, and his reflections on nature or built environments. Robert works from his inner space outwards to the space that surrounds him. The metaphorical artworks can often be read as inner landscapes, and he wishes the works to feel like an invitation, a spiritual dialogue offering an opening towards introspection and personal deepening, both for himself and for the viewer. Robert holds a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Architecture (Technical University Delft, 2009). At an early age he enjoyed a private painting and drawing training (1996 - 2001) by a Dutch artist. His work is exhibited in numerous online and physical exhibitions, like his solo exhibition at the ‘Salon des Arts’ in Maastricht, the Netherlands (2023), curated by Ad Himmelreich (curator and former conservator of the Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht, NL).
