Obier’s work encourages viewers to navigate the space between tradition and transformation, sparking dialogues about science, spirituality, and the future of human identity. Drawing from his extensive background in architecture and industrial design, Robert Obier re-imagines humanity’s place at the intersection of technology and art. His sculptures embody the art of symbolic storytelling, meticulous craftsmanship and the celebration of human imagination. “My exploration of the language of form is an inquiry into the nature and discipline of creation itself—a pursuit of the fundamental organizational principles that govern the design of the cosmos and give rise to the artifacts of human ingenuity. From the meticulous drawings of Leonardo da Vinci to the digital creations of Industrial Light & Magic, I am captivated by the boundless reach of human imagination.”

I love true moment. Everyday life, relationships, and emotions are at the heart of my work

I work in a sort of literary/philosophical framework so within that context my reference points are the parables of Kafka and the aphorisms of Kierkegaard. Because elements determine content, the process of creation is both constrained and liberated by the available elements at any given time and it is the improvised procedure of choice, assembly and judgment that settles the argument
