Antonius Roberts was born in Nassau, Bahamas. His ethos connecting
man’s spiritual and emotional nature and nature itself, and his desire to
record and honor Bahamian heritage, is inherent in all of his paintings
and sculpture.
Choices of materials, locations, and historical references are
essential to his creative process, and are vital to his ongoing
celebration of his identity and historical heritage. He does this by using
indigenous materials and locating the installations, where possible, in
places of historical significance. Thus the past is recorded, re-created
and remembered as a living historical record of Bahamian heritage.
