Rosalind Robinson is an Academician at the Royal West of England Academy and a painter of portraits notable for their striking features and expressions, their symbolism, timelessness and art-historical references. In this episode, she talks about her early career as a scenic artist and muralist, why she drifted towards portraits featuring wild hair and headdresses, the importance of looking at each other especially in the age of the smartphone, and her latest project on the Silk Road.
