Robert Inestroza
Robert Inestroza is a contemporary artist born in NYC and based in France. His practice explores status, identity, vanity, consumption, and social change. Inestroza's work focuses on contemporary figurative painting and sculpture that conveys the paradox of contemporary life: chaos and poetry, fragility and strength, the ephemeral and eternal. All with a light-hearted, inquisitive touch. The layered, moody figurative works draw from past, current events and futures, mythology, pop culture, and art history.

A series that captures the "quotidien" or everyday moments unfolding on the Paris Metro. As the pulsing heart of the city, the metro system brings together a diverse tapestry of humanity, from all walks of life, in a compact and intimate setting. We observe the contemplative inner lives, social dynamics, and subtle tensions that simmer beneath the surface of this bustling microcosm.
Each canvas offers a window into the fleeting, yet poignant, interactions and solitary reflections that unfold amidst the rhythmic flow of commuters. Passengers lost in thought, strangers forging unexpected connections, and the subtle interplay of social status and cliques - all are rendered with a deft touch, inviting the viewer to pause and immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of human experience that unfolds within the confines of the metro's carriages.
These paintings capture the quotidian and serve as a powerful commentary on the urban experience, highlighting how public spaces can become stages for the intimate and the profound. Through light, colour, and composition, we can see the extraordinary within the ordinary and find beauty and meaning in the everyday moments that often go unnoticed.

Merci, Domique-Marie, pour votre merveilleuse description, c’est exactement ce que je cherchais. Un moment de connexion avec la beauté qui nous entoure.

Le besoin de se relier à quelque chose d’essentiel, comme la nature, le ciel, le silence, la beauté, c’est ce que ce visage exprime pour moi.

Merci beaucoup pour vos beaux commentaires. Les roseaux d’hiver qui se reflètent sur l’eau pourraient apparaître comme des anguilles... L’inspiration initiale était la métaphore de nos choix personnels qui affectent les choses autour de nous comme des ondulations. Je suis heureux que vous ayez trouvé quelque chose dedans. Robert
