A life made beautiful by rubbish

Available for over a year

Robi Walters is a London-based artist who creates mesmerising, colourful collages out of discarded materials. He’s been hugely successful, with celebrity buyers, and packed-out exhibitions. Robi is driven by an obsession with taking materials that have been abandoned by other people, and transforming them into something that’s beautiful, and wanted. It's been part of a cathartic process, giving hope to the child who felt unwanted, in the aftermath of a tragic fire.
