ARTIST BIO:

What began as an unexplainable, undeniable drive to draw beginning at age three, has propelled Robert Lyn Nelson into a very elite minority of distinguished artists who defy categorization, having extensive bodies of work across all styles of painting & sculpture.

Nelson received world acclaim for pioneering the Modern Marine Art Movement with his 1979 painting, "Two Worlds". This original painting played a significant role in inspiring marine conservation efforts world-wide. – The distortions of the world around him has led to increasing surrealistic elements that have added a complex dream-like dimension to Nelson’s visionary art and ignited existing and new admirers.

Pablo Picasso, Gerhard Richtor, and David Hockney, known for their versatility and considerable artistic range, inspire Nelson to continue creating works in various styles from realism to cubism to impressionism to non-objective abstractions. He believes creativity is boundless and artists shouldn’t be limited in any way when it comes to expressing themselves through art.

Moved by the intense mystical sensation his paintings and drawings evoke, Robert Lyn Nelson's art is widely admired and acquired by collectors around the world.

Robert Lyn Nelson began drawing with charcoal and pencil daily at three years of age; by seven he won an ‘Art for Conservation Award, one the first of his many awards, at Edison Elementary school.

His family moved in 1964 and he continued winning art awards at Hawthorne Elementary School. That encouragement fueled his lifelong passion for art. By the age of eight Robert began an earnest study of the great masters of the Renaissance, famous impressionists, cubists, surrealists and modern artists. Rembrandt, Monet, Renoir and Picasso fed his voracious appetite to experiment, invent and refine styles that continues to this day.
