About

Robin Muccari is an artist, illustrator, and designer located in Toronto, Ontario. His art ranges from analog to digital in collage, illustration, and animation. With a background in digital collage, editorial illustrations, he has transitioned to three-dimensional, analog collages. They display energetic motions in a static form, express impulsive emotions, and physical depth. Three dimensions add to a perspective in depth among photographs and shapes, while providing shadows commonly used as effects in digital collage. Robin continuously experiments with pieces in his studio space at Akin Collective. Read more about him at Akin Collective.
