Robert Tema

Originally from Hawaii, Robert has called Minnesota home for the last 30 years, and finds wonder in all its landmarks – both natural and urban. Using bold colors, broad strokes and rugged materials, he interprets these landmarks and scenes in unique ways. For fun, he also creates very sketchy pop art drawings and apply to various useful items like tote bags, coffee mugs, beach towels, and much more.

In this photograph series ''Paris Noir'', Robert wanted to highlight the light and shade of the city of light.’’
