Colour plays a huge role in these still life to evoke feeling and a narrative of place or setting.
"Perhaps something that rings true to the viewer, but from a dream point of view, like getting close to a window and see life beyond", Rob says.
Composition is another focus. He enjoys distorting space and defying shapes to find a sense of balance and harmony in the painting.
It is like a blink, an R.E.M when the eyes locate and dislocate objects and backgrounds without a pre-established meaning. Overall, "Wonderous window and tea" is derived from memories, happiness and emotions.
