American born in 1947 in Rochester, N.Y., Mols was interested in art at a young age. The son of a composer and gifted flutist, co-founder of the music dept. at the University of Buffalo, Robin was surrounded by the sounds of chamber music, opera, jazz, big bands and a lively but serious approach to the classics. He realized early on that the history of art and music is synonymous.
Robin studied art and painting at New Paltz State College, N.Y. from 1965-’67. Then from 1967-’69 he studied painting and graphics at Pratt Institute, NYC. An independent study in Europe rounded out the schooling years.
Mols felt the attraction of the West and in 1970, he moved to Aspen, Colorado to begin his professional career in the arts. The next 11 years were fruitful and diverse. Working in film, design, illustration, portraiture, and the fine arts, he developed the highly stylized figures and landscapes, which would become one of his trademarks. This ethereal style grew alongside his veneration for color and the powerful effect it has on mood and atmosphere, which is evident in his current work.
Over the years Mols has lived and worked in different places in the world: Haiti, Chile, France, Santa Fe, NM, Colorado, and New York, where he currently resides in Eden.
Evolving out of the diversity of the post-modern world where one could move freely between the extremes of realism and abstraction, Mols’ work consistently fused the two ends of the spectrum. In a century that has witnessed a complete transformation of image, he has in his own eclectic way, changed with the times. It is the voice within the artwork that is the central character that he wishes to focus on. Painting remains at the core of Robins’ work.
“The range and vastness of the possibilities that can be explored on a single canvas is as great as it ever was and perhaps ever will be”. RPM

Hi Robin, Its very nice to know you, your wisdom is depicted very well in all your creations. You thoughts are simply deep, original and pure. It was a wonderful experince to know you, Meeting with you on Niagra falls trip is just like icing on the cake, makes my trip unforgetable.
carry on...
I'm happy to see you are still creating such fabulous work. I had met you years ago in Aspen when you were associated with the Folkslure Gallery, in fact you had created their signage. My first awareness of you came when I first saw the mural you had created in the 'Gallery'
nightclub, for Frank Woods. It was awesome, as is your recent work as well. Best wishes to you!
Hello "Robin"..I visited with George in April 2014 in San Francisco and had a wonderful time remembering "when". I had been in contact with Susan Metzler(Slotnik) who put me in touch with George. It was great to hug him and to fill in the blanks of our lives. He has a handsome son, daughter-in-law and two adorable granddaughters. So we are now 68 and New Paltz is far behind us. Your paintings are beautiful, but all of us knew that you were the "real" artist among us and would create amazing paintings. When I graduated, I got married too soon, traveled to India, divorced and then I married the father of my children. I loved teaching art and am happily retired and living now in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with my 3rd, yes 3rd husband of 15 years. I have an amazing son in NYC and a beautiful daughter living now in Lone Tree, Colorado. She is not a skier though. I often wonder how all of our paths would have been different. It was a crazy time at New Paltz and our generation is the result. The internet has made it possible to reconnect or disconnect once again. Be well. Phyllis
Hello Robin you probably dont remember me, I came across some slides and letters that were my mom's and it made me nostalgic. Glad to see you're doing well .Would love to view your work in person hope you have a show in the area soon fondly anne
Robin, a pleasure to meet and speak with you at the recent benefit in Buffalo.
I find your work understandable and very strong. I can relate to its execution. Do you happen to know where i could find a mannequin?---So Long ,jeff
Robin, I passed your site on to an aspiring artist I met at the paddock golf dome. She works in the grille. god bless and I'll keep ya in the music loop! bernie
Hello, you were just in my office signing some paperwork for me to get back to New York for you when your agent there gave me this site. You are an awesome artist. I am going to share this site with my family and friends. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
Hello Robin,
I have just bookmark your site in my favorites. Opening it brings me some rest my too industrial world.
Thank you for these needed or required escapes.
Xavier.
