In 1993 Robert Ivers was commissioned by the late Her Royal
Highness, Lady Diana, Princess of Wales. To this day, the
painting titled HOPE, continues to hang on the walls of the St.
James Palace. More recently his work has been acquired by such
celebrities as Tori Spelling (Beverly 90210), Kevin Connolly
(Entourage) and Justin Berfield (Malcolm in the Middle).
With over 20 styles, Ivers produces artwork with an innate
sense of expression ranging from abstract-expressionism and
other popular mid-century paradigms, to representational, and
portraiture embodying personalities with an uncanny resemblance
to the living or past on. Color and texture are often used
and with time constraints as some clients and designers have,
this talented artist can make any idea come true.
"My interest in creating artwork is simply a desire to
fulfill an area, which, without it would not be complete.
Whether commissioned or for myself, all inspiration can be found
in anything from: tangible objects to abstract thoughts, color,
events or relationships. I believe talent is the sixth
sense, and that when discovered can either be expressed or
appreciated and in that, it is fulfilling and essential.
An inspiration of mine is architecture; it really has a
definite appeal for me. Traveling to both urban and rural
areas is beneficial. It allows me to absorb my
surroundings in a more conscious approach while becoming more
aware of how structures are placed on the earth's canvass and
the direction it has taken to define it as a landmark.
Each edifice is a record of the day, the people and how it
reflects society -- an insightful tool for others to utilize for
their own development by example.
I believe inspiration is as great as how it is inspired;
therefore, as I understand it: family, friends, my
contemporaries life and everyone in it will, in one way or
another, have a part in what transpires through expression."
