Having grown up in Boulder Colorado, Robert Mann was raised studying Tibetan Buddhism. He has years of training in mindfulness practice, spanning from Japanese archery, meditation, to flower arranging. Using the philosophy of “spacious mind / healthy mind”, he implements the calm of earth tones in his palette and the simplicity of Zen art. 

“Even with aspirations of simplicity, art can be so fragile. All it takes is a moment of drifting your attention or a small distraction to completely lose a piece. Creating a balance of awareness and gentleness, being precise and assertive while remaining loose and non-rigid has always been the razors edge for me.”

Robert Mann is a visual artist who currently lives and works in Downtown Los Angeles.
