About
My name is Robert John “Robbie” Ierubino, Jr. I am a US-born, autistic artist who emigrated to Vienna, Austria, when I was 14. In June 2020, I graduated from Staffordshire University in Stoke-on-Trent, England, with a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) degree in Graphic Design. In November 2021, I will receive my Master of Arts degree in Arts and Creative Technologies (also from Staffs).
As an artist, I have always liked creating different types of designs. When I was younger, I loved to create my own versions of album covers, stage layouts for concerts, and logos for movie production companies. In the 10th grade, I became interested in different art forms during my classes and voyages around Europe. I was especially attracted to street art and cubism. As a real lover of pop culture, I am inspired by all media types, including television, movies, logos, and music. I enjoy traveling and exploring different cities and countries; their architecture and landscapes intrigue me.
I am autistic. Throughout my life, I faced many challenges that “typical” kids do not. It took me a long time to speak as a child, and communication is still difficult. Because of my autism, I struggle with verbal communication. Talking with people and writing my thoughts are difficult because it is hard for me to find the right words. Through my art, I feel free. I think autism has given me a unique perspective, and I hope it comes through in my art. As my senses are always on high alert, my understanding of the world around me may differ from others. For example, I see pictures in my head when I hear music. Or, when I think of a movie, I can see it and listen to it playing in my mind. Sometimes, these constant bombardments are not welcome and may overwhelm me.
