We recently caught up with NYC-based artist Robert Nava in a conversation hosted by Avant Arte co-founder Christian Luiten on Clubhouse.

Nava, now represented by PACE gallery, discussed the early stages of his career and the inspiration he draws from his time as a truck driver, the profound effect of music on his artistic process and the ways that Instagram has allowed a wider audience to connect with his work – Christian included!

Robert Nava was born in 1985 in East Chicago, USA, and now lives and works in New York.
