Hi there, I’m Peter - wildlife geek, sensitive and introvert but above all curious. I was always looking up at the night sky in a state of awe, pondering on the odds of life existing on a planet besides Earth. Just imagine all the possible life forms on the distant planetary systems of the universe’s estimated 100 octillion stars! … (a 1 with 29 zeros after it:)
I'm truly amazed and constantly inspired by the abundance of wildlife in deep oceans, on land and in the air. From microscopic life forms, logarithmic spirals of the nautilus shells and radially symmetric organisms below the surface of the seas, through hidden numbers Pi in the shapes of coastlines and desert dunes, to planetary systems and stars above us.
I believe in the balance of nature. I believe that all animals are equal and all sentient beings, every creature who can feel have an equal right to moral consideration and legal protection. I am a strong advocate for wildlife and environmental protection initiatives, laws and actions.
I’m happy to participate in every legitimate action supporting animal well-being and environmental protection.

Today - wildlife and nature, unquenchable curiosity and feverishly inventive imagination of every human being, are the foundations of my artistic explorations.
Thus, I have great pleasure to invite you to explore the obvious and the hidden beauty of nature portrayed by the most talented artists, explorers and scientists of the Age of Exploration, 18th century and beyond.
I’m spending a lot of great time on curating - researching, selecting and digitally remastering, the most intriguing works of art out there and I hope you’ll find it as compelling as I do.
Keep being curious!
