Hannya Ani Robinson

The wild and enticing energy in Hannya’s works have in common her fascination with the untameable characteristics of nature, the sea, and the relationship between her photography that documents her life of travels. Hannya paints from her feelings and impressions, and her subjects range from brilliantly lit skies and vivid depictions of natural light to panoramic naturescapes.

Hannya draws inspiration from her life as a sailor and is influenced by the peaceful yet majestic work of Turner, whilst harbouring elements of organic abstract expressionism. Her creativity is not bound to Falmouth and The New Forest, she’s widely known for painting on stormy seas or out in the elements working with mixed media on canvas and board.

Hannya’s work is currently held in private collections here in the UK, USA and the Caribbean

Hannya Ani Robinson’s artwork captures the raw beauty and ever-changing nature of the sea. As a passionate sailor and artist, she creates striking pastel seascapes, coastal paintings, and abstract landscapes, all inspired by her travels and deep connection with the ocean. Her work embodies movement, light, and the untamed energy of nature, making each piece a powerful visual experience.

Using a mix of acrylics, pastels, and mixed media, Hannya paints both in her studio and out in the elements—whether on stormy seas or coastal landscapes. Her influences include the atmospheric works of Turner, alongside elements of abstract expressionism, resulting in compositions that are both peaceful and dramatic.
