Biography

Born and trained in London, Robin Yakinthou is a sculptor, painter, and teacher working in Western Australia. His work is designed to create contrasts, and continuously shift in relationship with the time of day, light intensity, and evolving landscape. This reflects his philosophy as an artist; he brings to each of his projects an ability to first and foremost see creative energy in everyday forms and activities that have become invisible in the rush of our everyday lives. He works extensively with marine-grade stainless steel; a timeless material that embraces the tomorrow, but bewitches us with the present moment, sits with future technologies, but speaks of the earth from which it is drawn; combining industrial with modern. At the same time that it reflects us, it distorts us also, capturing our imagination and our eye. He is represented in private and public collections in Australia
