| Florczak's art is characterized by an avid interest in historical drama and romance and an intimate understanding of the classical paintings of the Old Masters. Additionally, his work reflects a passion for the Academic and Victorian painters of the 19th century, such as Leighton, Bouguereau, and Alma-Tadema, as well as the majestic landscapes of Bierstadt, Church, and Moran. |

| Whether working in colored pencils and watercolors or in layers of transparent oil glazes, Robert brings to his paintings great depth and attention to detail. His designs and technique have been compared to the classical imagery of the Pre-Raphaelites and have been described as "Caravaggio crossed with Maxfield Parrish." According to one reviewer, Robert's Landscapes are "reminiscent of the ambitious paintings from the Hudson River School." |
