I am an artist drawn to and by the spiritual and emotive power of the natural world. There is a never ending hunger within me to synthesize powerful moments that I experience and share them with those around me. The many moods and mysteries I feel and encounter out in nature are such an overwhelming comfort to me that I can’t help but be deeply inspired by them
Article from American Art Collector:
For an artist in his
early thirties, Devin Michael Roberts has managed to achieve a
remarkable quality and maturity to his landscape paintings. Born in the
foothills of the cascade mountain range and currently holding residence
in both Washington state and the Ozark mountain area of Missouri.
Roberts spends much of his time between the two areas composing scenes
that evoke the feelings and memories that most impact him. 'Although I
paint landscapes, I try not to think of them as documenting a specific
location, in fact I blend together many different memories and
references when putting together an oil or pastel painting.' It’s
through this process that Mr. Roberts builds a painting that puts an
emphasis on creating an emotional connection with the viewer rather than
presenting them with a rendering of a geographic location.
“ I’m
very drawn to low light scenes and the murky, deep emotions they can
evoke. Whether it’s the moment right after the sun has dipped below the
horizon, or the middle of the night. It’s these moments in my life that
I feel a spiritual connection to everything around me.” Although
Roberts’ paintings depict the moments in life that are most fleeting he
spends large amounts of time outdoors painting directly from nature and
studying the ways he can translate the scenes into imagery.
In a
relatively short amount of time as a professional artist Devin has
managed to build a large following of collectors, national press and
awards. "
