About
Peter produces most of his work using a unique limited pallet. He utilizes only five colours to create all the visual detail and excitement within his paintings. Choosing not to use black in any of his work. Instead, dark colours are achieved with a combination of primary colour and burnt umber to achieve rich deep tones in the shadows of his work. A technique he learned in his formative years as an artist.
Peter's love for art started at a young age. Creating pencil drawings and clay sculptures that represented all the creatures in his imagination. Peter enjoyed working in pen and ink the most at a young age producing detailed comic book illustrations. In high school Peter became very interested in technology alongside art. By the mid 90’s when college rolled around Peter had built his own powerful 3D capable computer and had already begun to produce 3D art.
