Hey, I'm Rob Wegh

A figurative artist specialising in sculpture and drawing, currently based in both Italy and the Netherlands. I was born in 2002 in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. I finished my VWO-level high school in 2020 at the Citadel College in the Netherlands. I then moved to Florence to attend the Florence Academy of Art, where I earned multiple scholarships and graduated with the "Best Sculpture of the Year" award in 2023. In my 4th year at the school I served as a Graduate in Residence and a principal instructor for drawing and sculpture at the academy. I now work with the sculpture school in Amsterdam, Figura. I also maintain a studio for new and ongoing projects. For more updates follow my instagram account @robwegh

In my time as a sculptor, I've come to really enjoy the beauty that is the human figure. Everyone has something unique worth exploring and showcasing in a work of art. And through the medium that is clay or charcoal, I can express myself the best and show who the portraited person truely is.
