My name is Osian Wyn Hughes Roberts. I'm an artist from Anglesey, North Wales. I work in all sorts of different mediums, painting, drawing, animation and film. Much of my work is inspired by Welsh culture and history in general.

Once I've graduated from my Animation degree, I hope to study on the Fine Art (MA) at Manchester School of Art. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Animation course in Manchester, I'd love to carry on working in Manchester. Despite this, after almost 3 years of Animation, I've decided I'd like to return to a studio-based fine art practice. In my foundation year, the environment of the studio was something I loved. The energy of everyone working on their ideas benefited my work. It was a great cycle that took place. What I've learnt during my Animation degree has been so valuable. I've learnt how to bring expression, character and performance into a scene. The principles of animation that I've learnt are being applied into my art. Whilst being on the course, I've created work that is best viewed on a screen in a cinema / TV. I now want to return to creating installations, paintings, large scale drawings etc. I believe that joining the MA Fine Art course would greatly benefit my practice. Being able to be taught by people who currently practice their craft, is something that excites me. The art world is constantly changing, it's great to be taught by people who are 'in the loop'. Also, at 21, I want to begin thinking about my future. I want to create, that's for certain. I believe that the MA will make me realise what further options I have for the future. I'd love to work in galleries, creating large paintings and installations. I need to return to a studio environment. The COVID pandemic has made this clear to me. I've realised that I do not want to create in my room, being stuck to a laptop for hours on end. I want to be able to combine the digital process with the traditional process. Creating new work, tying in the skills that I've learnt during my time on the animation course. I really hope to enrol on the course. Thank you.
