Native of the Paris region where she was born in 1966, and settled in Essonne, Anne Robin has been painting for a few years. Or maybe it's always been, when she was following the family's impulse to have a brush in her hand all the time. Life has offered her another way, but she remains extremely attracted by the artistic fields she has never abandoned. Solo writing, piano and floral arrangements were also part of her universe.

This attraction may be explained by the fact that she comes from a long line of painter enamelling artists beginning in the fifteenth century. Artists whose one counts among the initiators of the technique of the grisaille giving effect of bas-relief, and possibly another having realized portraits for the kings and princes of France. These ancestors, although nowadays forgotten by the general public, are still exposed in various museums throughout France and the world, notably in the Louvre and Cluny museums in Paris.

As time passes, it is natural that she responds again to the call of painting, beginning by giving a second life to old furniture, and by extension, by covering the walls of her house with waxes and lime. Part self-taught, she did not follow classical training but surrounded herself with excellent teachers. She actively participates in a painting workshop, for the pleasure and the enriching side, which does not prevent her from providing a relentless work in a personal and autonomous way.

Her acrylic canvases, often with additions of material, are influenced by his environment and what it carries her to feel, in love with life in all its forms: the reassuring but decided feminine curves , the coldness of the cities and the beauty of nature are her favorite themes, although she also sometimes appreciates the liberating side of the abstract. The love that she brings to the making of her works is reflected through them, this love of a job well done, of creativity, this passion and this desire to go all the way in a constant evolution. With this need to dirty her hands, to share the emotion, to tell stories through her paintings.
