Robo Nyman was born in Niederlausitz, Germany and graduated in architecture. Since then, he has contributed to a wide range of projects in the fields of architecture, art, and design. He is also involved in academic teaching and works on interdisciplinary projects focused on “Design for All” and knowledge transfer. In his work, he explores aesthetic, functional, and economic questions, as well as societal aspects.

Portraits and figurative depictions realized in colorful and surreal-looking image compositions form the core of his artistic work. Memory sketches and photographic studies are transferred with colored pencils and pastels onto paper and cardboard with utmost precision and attention to detail. Moments of intense silence, far removed from a turbulent world, capture instances of quiet reflection and contemplation.

Using artistic techniques of repetition, reflection and alienation, Robert reveals metaphoric questions about facets of human existence. His works exhibit Robert’s ability to emphatize with his protagonists and represent his own emotions.

He lives and works in Berlin.

Robert has been using the pseudonym Robo Nyman since 2023.
