Peter Zentjens

I have always been obsessed with expressing myself visually and capturing the beauty of the things I see, either in the world or right here at home. At the moment, my work mainly divides into 3 art forms. Still life photography, travel photography and watercolour painting.

My most favoured way of visual expression is my still life photography. I specialize in work with a vintage, nostalgic look and feel, albeit sometimes with a twist. For these photographs to really work, I developed not just my own style, but also my own technique of painting with light . This technique, which I honed into perfection over the years, allows me to create the exact right mood and feel that I want to convey.

I am an avid traveller and of course I can not resist capturing the beauty of the places that I visit. I always have a camera at my side, resulting in gorgeous images of both nature and culture from all over the world. As you can see, my travel photography has won me an award.

In my watercolour paintings I explore the amazing world of my own imagination. My surreal paintings are full with symbolism, eyes and flowers. Besides surrealism I also pay homage to the beauty of the nude form, and, I’m not afraid to cross both those interests.

However, with my experimental nature, my work is not limited to these forms of expression, as I’m always open for new ideas. This has resulted in various other expressions of art, from sculpture to t-shirt design.

A lot of my work is on display, and for sale, here on Redbubble. I hope you will enjoy exploring my portfolio and that my work will touch you in some way.
