Now back from the United States, Peter presents his latest digital paintings, exclusively created and certified on canvas.

the reason why i choose this painting was because over the summer i went to italy and i went to milan and venice and i really really enjoyed venice. it was something so magical to me and something i thought i would only ever see in movies and when i saw it in person it was something so surreal and it was just a great experience. this painting reminded me of how beautiful venice was and thats the reason i decided to make my research on this piece.
