Rober Melin.

I was born in Linköping on 12 December in 1963. 
Started drawing before I could walk or talk, at the age of 14 I knew I was going to be an
artist. So, in 1982 I moved to Stockholm and studied the Fine Arts.Then I went to Andalucia
and saw the light. It inspired me alot and Spain will always be my second home. I went back
to Stockholm in 1986, exhibited in restaurants and worked as a cook on the side. After a 
trip to Asia in 1992 I opened up a sushibar called Sushi Akuten, Hard work, big success and
so on, I sold my part 6 years later. Went back to Thailand, later Mexico, Spain, South Africa
and now back home, busy painting, being a father and working with Asian food and catering.
Life is great
