Robin Perko

An atelier is a historic word for a studio run by a master artist or teacher, where artists learn from each other. Robin studied in ateliers in Florence (Italy), London and Salisbury and over time developed his painting skills across Europe. Now back in Nottingham, he runs his own atelier sessions on portraiture, still life and landscape painting. Whether he is painting portraits, still life or landscapes, his unique relationship with the subject finds a personal connection with the day to day.
Robin grew up in the UK and has lived and painted all over Europe. Painting in oils and from life, Robin has built up a large body of Realist work. He’s exhibited in the UK, France and Italy, carried out work for BBC’s Poldark, been short-listed for painting the Archbishop of Canterbury. His work has been exhibited in the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Institute of Oil painters and New English Art Club.

He gets a huge creative boost from teaching atelier-style sessions, with collective learning in the tradition of old European art schools and notably work with survivors of PTSD, where art is an effective therapy for debilitating symptoms.
Robin teaches regular portrait classes, weekend workshops, one to one tuition and  small groups. Through the SAA, these sessions are now available as a series of online workshops, with a discussion forum and individual feedback.
