Some of his paintings depict busy streets and quiet alleyways whilst others are set
against a striking coloured background; each one, a fascinating narrative of life
today. They are all stories of our time, of people going about their everyday lives,
technology in hand.

 

Peter says, “I like my compositions to feel technically beautiful - there is an intentional dichotomy between my technology-centric images and my
traditional painting process.”
