Welcome to Maff Robinson seascapes. I am an artist who lives and works in Brighton, East Sussex, and this website focuses on my recent paintings, which are all contemporary seascapes painted on the beach.
Having worked as an artist for many years I enjoy the constant challenge of painting outside in all weathers. But more importantly, I believe that working in this way enables me to create paintings that are subtly but profoundly different to those made in the studio.

Standing on the shoreline looking toward the horizon can be a powerful emotional experience. Seascape painters often focus on the dramatic elements of the sea’s emotional power. But I am interested in exploring the quieter, more meditative aspects of our response to it.

The key elements of any seascape are light, air, wind and water. My technique, together with my choice of paint and pigments, help me to represent the luminosity and fluidity of these elements.

I studied fine art at Winchester School of Art and Hochschule Der Kunste (Berlin) and have worked continuously as an artist since graduating in 1995. During this time my work has developed from conceptual installations through generalised landscapes and large-scale abstracts to the seascapes exhibited here.
