About the Artist
Johnny Robles is a multi-disciplinary artist working at the intersection of art, technology, and nature. Studies in color theory, geometry, and science, combined with his natural and spiritual world interests are central to his work.
The artwork’s title, Gloria Bow, is derived from a glory rainbow, a halo of interlocking colors made up of tiny droplets of water reflecting sunlight scattered back towards the viewer. This phenomenon we see in nature can be experienced from tall buildings, a mountain top, or an airplane. Over the years, the artist’s experiences of observing glories have marveled and served him as reminders that nature seeks each of us. This painting intends to engage passersby in a moment of solitude, clarity, or stillness.
Johnny Robles was born in Miami, FL in 1984 where he currently lives and works. Robles studied at Studio Arts College International in Florence, Italy and later received his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD. His work has been featured in several group and solo exhibitions in Miami and around the world, including the Museum of Arts and Design, NY 2010; The Art and Cultural Center/Hollywood, FL 2013; Anthony Spinello, FL 2014; Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, FL 2015; David Castillo Gallery, Miami Beach, FL 2016; and Galleria Del Paseo, Uruguay 2016.
