A Chicago-based artist, Robin Monique Rios has spent nearly two decades shaping a vibrant legacy through photography, digital art, painting, and mixed media sculpture. As the founder/owner of 4Art Space Gallery, from 2004-2022, she has not only showcased her artistic journey but also inspired and mentored a new generation of artists and collectors. Her work is proudly displayed in homes and businesses across the U.S. and has been featured in galleries, museums, and art venues throughout Chicago and beyond. Rios's creative voice transcends the limitations of a single medium, reflecting her commitment to constant evolution and pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. As she explains, "My voice can't be heard, nor can my story be told with just one medium." Her body of work is a testament to her ability to draw profound inspiration from the world around her, transforming it into art that resonates deeply with her audience.

Mentor and Curator for over two decades.
