The Artist

After university, Robert built a 35-year career as an award-winning commercial photographer, working with global brands and music icons. He was a pioneer in digital photography and creative image manipulation. Later, he embraced a new creative direction, establishing a workshop in Surrey where he pushes the boundaries of woodworking, combining time-honoured traditional skills with cutting edge technology to create unique and intricate pieces.

Robert Elsdale's work celebrates the intricate beauty found in both vision and craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously crafted from a mosaic of wooden components, reflecting complexity and depth. These eyes invite you to experience the wonder of their intricate creation — encouraging a deeper connection to the art and the subtle wonders of the world around us.

With a mirror gloss surface, the art reflects more than just light — it captures your very presence. As you meet its gaze, you are no longer outside the art — you are part of it.
