Roch Jade Robb

Roch Jade Robb is a contemporary digital fine artist whose work explores emotion, identity, and the architecture of the inner world. Often describing herself as a creative rather than an artist, her practice is rooted in feeling, memory, and lived experience, translating what is felt but not always spoken into visual form. Her background sits at the intersection of creativity and analysis, a duality that defines her signature style. Through precise architectural linework, geometric structure, and fluid, rhythmic movement, Roch Jade Robb creates one-of-one digital artworks that merge emotion with form. Influenced by Afrofuturism, celestial symbolism, and mathematical patterns, her work reflects both personal narrative and universal human experience. Each collection functions as a visual diary; an exploration of emotion, culture, memory, and imagination, inviting viewers to recognise and honour their own inner landscapes. Roch Jade Robb’s work is created with intention, never replicated, and crafted for collectors who value meaning, depth, and emotional resonance over decoration. Her work redefines digital fine art as a space for connection, reflection, and modern luxury, and is created for collectors who seek depth, meaning, and emotional resonance.

What is your background and how did you start your journey in the art world?

“I’ve never really considered myself an artist, I think of myself more as a creative. I grew up deeply connected to emotion, pattern, and storytelling. I’m always observing, always feeling, always translating the world through an internal visual lens. It wasn’t until adulthood, during a period of personal trials and tribulations, that art became a deliberate practice rather than an instinct. What started as a private space for expression and journaling quickly revealed itself as a language that held emotion, identity, and memory in visual form that I believed could resonate with others. My background blends creativity with analysis. I’ve always lived between structure and imagination, and that duality influences my signature style today: precise, architectural linework infused with fluid movement, rhythm, and emotional depth. As my work evolved, I realised I wasn’t simply creating images; I was bringing the world I built in my mind into this reality, merging two worlds as it were. That was the moment my artistic journey shifted from a personal diary to something purposeful that I felt I could share with the world and possibly encourage someone to externalise their inner world.”

What inspires you?

“Life inspires me. My son, my mum, my family and friends, the world around me, the things I experience, and the dreams I hold for myself. I'm led by emotion: the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable. Everything has its place in my personal evolution, and often it's the release of those emotions that births the concepts behind my work. My art is rooted in the belief that what we feel but cannot articulate deserves space, beauty, and honour. Emotion becomes architecture; identity becomes light; memory becomes motion.”

What themes do you pursue? Is there an underlying message in your work?

“My theme is me. Every collection explores a facet of my emotions, culture, memories, and even my daydreams. I tell these stories through my art. As someone drawn to maths and analysis, my mind often wanders into geometry, patterns, and exploratory concepts. I naturally go down rabbit holes of mathematical theorems and visualise how they apply to my world and everyday experiences. This merges with emotion to create my unique visual language.”

How would you describe your work?

“I create contemporary digital fine art that’s deeply rooted in emotion. Everything I make comes from a feeling, a memory, or an internal shift that I’m trying to understand or release. Visually, my work often blends cosmic and celestial linework with Afrofuturistic elements, geometry, and structure. I’m drawn to precision, patterns, and rhythm, but I always balance that with fluidity and movement, almost like the artwork has its own pulse. Minimalism plays a big role in my work, but it’s never empty. Every line, shape, and colour carries intention and meaning. For me, the work isn’t about decoration. It’s about translating emotion into something visible. At its core, my art is simply emotion given form.”

Which artists influence you most?

“I draw inspiration from so many artists. My biggest artistic inspiration is probably Jadde Purple Brown. I am a huge fan of hers. The shapes, colours, and fluidity within her work are mesmerising. Her ability to create movement through abstraction has significantly influenced my own visual language. I’m also deeply inspired by the works of Kerry James Marshall, Julie Mehretu, Wassily Kandinsky, Amoako Boafo, and Zaha Hadid to name a few. Each of them brings a powerful sense of identity, emotion, and narrative into their practice whether through abstraction, form, colour, or architectural vision. They all reinforce my belief that art is not static. It is movement, identity, intention fused into experience.”

What is your creative process like?

“My process is rooted in emotion. When I'm overwhelmed by a feeling or a memory resurfaces, I begin developing a concept based on that emotional frequency. Sometimes it starts as a simple scribble I build upon; other times it's an image I’ve seen so vividly in my mind’s eye that I need to bring it to life immediately. Once a piece is finished, if it doesn't speak to me, and I mean truly speak to my soul, then it isn’t right. I refine it until I feel the emotion I feel has been fully expressed. My collections are the result of emotions so powerful that I have no choice but to translate them visually.”

What is an artist’s role in society and how do you see that evolving?

“Artists, and creatives in general, are the emotional historians of society. We hold up mirrors to the human experience, capturing feelings people struggle to express. We shape culture, identity, and imagination. We challenge, soothe, awaken, and inspire. The world is so fast-paced and overstimulated, I believe art will become even more intimate, like a sanctuary. Collectors are gravitating toward pieces that mean something, that resonate personally, that reflect who they are or what they’re feeling but don’t yet have the words to express. The evolving role of a creative is to create with intention, honesty, and emotional depth. To build worlds. To open conversations. To remind people that they feel. We are human. We are allowed to feel all the emotions. Our feelings matter and we are not ever truly alone, someone has felt that way before. When we feel less alone, we feel better, even if it’s just a little bit. And if my creative expressions can offer that sense of connection to someone, then they’ve done what they were meant to do.”
