In Peter Vos’s paintings, animals and particularly birds take center stage. A few years ago, Vos began painting nocturnal creatures. Among them, a series of owls are depicted in shades of white, gray, and brown. Recently, he has started portraying birds with more vibrant colors: all kinds of species now appear in his work, from the tropical toucan or hornbill to the blue tit.
The paintings are delicate in both execution and subject matter, created with great precision and dedication. Over the years, Vos has developed a unique painting style, using thin layers of oil paint to create subtle color nuances. The large color blocks and geometric shapes in all of his works reflect an emphasis on the art of painting itself.
