Robert Wymer is a distinguished mixed media artist and expert in antique manufacturing and restoration, hailing from San Antonio. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Texas at Austin and comes from a lineage of artists, proudly being a third-generation painter and sculptor.

Inspired by his grandfather, an avid art collector and self-taught master of technique, Robert cultivated his artistic skills early on. His grandfather’s dedication to studying the works of greats like Matisse and Rouault left a lasting impact, leading Robert to explore his own creativity through the imitation of pieces by Gauguin, often on burlap.

Now residing in South Austin, Robert's work spans abstract pattern studies, allegorical paintings, and plein air landscapes inspired by Mexican and Southwest vistas. His approach is rooted in observation, using acrylics, oils, and watercolors to capture the essence of his subjects directly from life, rather than from photographs.

A passionate advocate of Christopher Alexander's concept of "pattern language," Robert believes in the power of design principles to inform artistic expression. He describes his work as both illustrative and graphic, reflecting a complex dialogue with contemporary culture. "My art embodies the tension between opposites," he explains, highlighting themes of technology and its impact on society.

Through his art, Robert Wymer invites viewers to explore the intricate balance of beauty and intellect, tradition and modernity.
