Rob Møhlmann started drawing as an adolescent.
Initially he made (cartoon-like) comics and landscapes with pencil and ink.
During the last year of secondary school he painted his first oil paintings.
In 1977 he started the teacher training course at the D’Witte Lelie in Amsterdam.
The autonomous artists training appealed much more to him but was frowned upon by his parents.
Convinced that he was not learning anything at the art academy, he left after only six weeks, together with his girlfriend (also a student at the D’Witte Lelie) who later became his wife, Laura de Grijs (1949-2010).
 As an autodidact he further developed his art and art skills.
Having initially occupied himself with various themes and subjects, after several years he eventually devoted himself to still life painting, although he remained interested in the nude, portraits, landscapes and (dilapidated) cityscapes.

 After meeting graphic artist J.M. van Lieshout in 1979, Møhlmann taught himself the art of etching.
He has made approximately 20 etches.
