Robert Hilmersson

Robert Hilmersson is one of today’s leading pop and street artists. Born in 1973, his artistic journey began after seeing an Andy Warhol exhibition in Australia, inspiring his shift from street art to fine art. Since then, he has exhibited across Europe and the USA, including New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, London, and Paris, while maintaining collaborations with galleries in London, New York, Zurich, and Paris. He consistently tops sales at major art fairs, commands high prices at international auction houses, and has an expanding base of collectors, including Elton John, who commissioned a special piece. Hilmersson’s work reimagines iconic landmarks, animals, events, and urban themes from fresh perspectives, often incorporating human attributes to create thought-provoking and humorous reflections on contemporary life. Through strong pictorial symbolism, he tackles significant issues such as politics, social challenges, and environmental concerns frequently represented by his signature penguins, which keenly observe the viewer. In his own words, his art serves as a commentary on modern society and current events, exploring everything from human behavior to global politics.
