SEASON’S GREETING’S from the studio today ;)

A small study from this week.

Honored to be featured by BOLD JOURNEY MAGAZINE in LA this month! https://boldjourney.com/meet-robert-roth/

Hi Robert, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

Honestly, I think purpose is something that comes from inside. For me, it’s always been art — making it, sharing it, getting lost in it. As a visual artist, I’m constantly playing with new ideas and just trying to stay curious and open to the things that interest me, excite me, or spark some kind of joy. When I’m digging into my own ideas — exploring, inventing, letting things evolve — that’s the good stuff, the juice! I try to keep that emotional thread running through the work and make something a little fresh, a little unexpected. And when I put it out there and someone connects with it? That’s when “purpose” actually feels real. I’ve always been into a lot of things: music, movies, random bits of culture, design, architecture — just art in every direction. Sometimes it’s total visual overload, but honestly, that’s what keeps me fueled. I think finding your purpose is mostly about connecting the dots between all the things you love and noticing what keeps coming up. In the simplest way: find what you love doing, and do more of it. For me, it always comes back to emotion and narrative. Whether it’s a quiet landscape from life or wild abstract pulled from memory, there’s beauty in both. Inspiration shows up from anywhere, really. A walk in nature, a busy street corner, a shadow on the wall. It usually starts with just staying curious. And I’ve realized it’s not about perfection at all — which really doesn’t even exist. It’s about the process: showing up, trying new things, learning as you go. That’s where the purpose sits for me.
And there’s this James Victore quote I love: “It’s so easy, it’s hard.” Kinda sums it all up.

Love this space… but, that pedestal really needs a scuplture. Perhaps a nice “Calder” would do. ;)

Everything looks nicer with flowers.
