It was truly special for me to paint this for my friend Robin. He wanted to tell the story about his reality. He wanted the mask to be named My Reality. Robin and I have been working together since Robin was a kid. Robin wanted the mask to tell the story about the hell he has been through. You can read his brave story at The Athletic, about mental illness, bipolar diagnosis, suicide thoughts, anxiety, addiction, panic attacks. Now Robin´s new life starts for him and his family and he wanted the mask to testify of his new life. The top of the mask describes how Robin´s reality has been for years... The most important part of mask is the sides, there is the sun at dawn, describing the start of the new life for Robin when he decided to seek help for himself and his family and also follow Jesus and get baptised.
It is so brave by Robin to tell his story to help other people. I am so impressed by you Robin. You also made me stronger with your story. This painting was extra emotional for me to create because since I was a kid I also have been fighting anxiety, panic attacks, OCD… And just as Robin I have seeked for help and found strength in my family and God.It is so brave by Robin to tell his story to help other people.

Robin Lehner’s next chapter in his mask art saga in New York Islanders is here. This time the story on the mask is created in the Islanders colors, and the lower parts are inspired from Robin’s pads. Just as the previous mask it was truly special for me to paint this for my friend Robin. He wanted to tell the story about his reality. He wanted the mask to be named My Reality.
