b. 1992 VANCOUVER ISLAND, BC
Robyn Jin is an artist whose practice centers around oil on canvas, where gesture becomes lyrical abstraction.
Grounded in the contemplative philosophies of The New York School, her paintings create atmospheric vignettes rather than literal portrayals. A return to those rare instances when our interior and exterior come into quiet alignment, when what stirs within us mirrors what unfolds beyond us. It is in that meeting that she finds a gentle, sustaining comfort. Inspired by her own moments of solitude and observation of ephemeral light, motion, and texture across Vancouver Island.
Robyn’s work has been exhibited in solo and group shows, including fundraising events supporting nonprofit organizations and community initiatives. Her paintings are held in private collections internationally.
Her works offer each viewer space
to feel,
interpret,
and simply be.
Robyn respectfully acknowledges that she resides and creates within the territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples, represented by the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, and the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.
Thank you to everyone who keeps me inspired and creating. I couldn’t be here without you.
