"In these dives into the past, Robida shows himself faithful to the restitution of reality and his drawings are precious documents for the history of heritage. But Robida's art is expressed there in all its originality: these drawings are nothing cold or conventional. They live, animated by a breath of vision, like a watermark of fantasy and dream. "

"The most visible part of the work of Robida voyageur, his large works richly illustrated with lithographs and etchings, is inspired by the approach both "urgent and nostalgic" of Baron Taylor and his Picturesque Voyages and romantics in ancient France , which is to seize what remains of the "masterpieces in danger" before it is too late.

Robida is first of all a tourist discoverer and defender of the French and European urban architectural heritage "
