Nature-Inspired Artwork
The universe never fails to surprise and overwhelm. The first time I found Robert Steven Connett and his artwork, I searched for illustrations for a biology project. A deep-dive into the internet and google searches led me to an article written about him in ORBMAG, and to say I was blown away would be an understatement.
The artist, Robert Steven Connett, was born in 1951 in San Francisco, California. He began drawing at the age of 27 and then gradually made a career out of his art after 25 years of work. Despite the vibrant and colorful artwork, his craft is described as nightmarish and intricately detailed. His paintings genuinely make you question reality; his work is inspired by numerous aspects of drug abuse, insanity, nature, and psychedelia.
Nevertheless, whether you depict it as outrageous, horrific artwork or an incredibly creative take on biology, you cannot deny the fact that he is talented. His paintings are inspired by numerous different factors, but they will never cease to amaze you.
