PETER N. VAN GIESEN

For Peter painting is a mystical process where by the veil of illusory fragmentation is momentarily lifted to discover the underlying immaterial essence of the universe.

He is drawn to places of mystery where he finds solace in the power of the spirit.

His art is the result of sporatic surges of energy that percolate to the surface of his consciousness. His style hovers between representation, idealism and impressionism. Using painting, he creates images based on what he senses and sees; the unreal reality, a philisophiocal spiritually, a spontaneous randomness, the mix of material and immaterial. He strives to capture the interconnected, subtle energy of the natural world exploring the interaction of light, air, water and land. His art is his attempt to reach out beyond the fabric of the natural world, to explore the dynamics of tension and elasticity.
