Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands in 1954, Peter Wortel has always possessed a remarkable talent for conveying his thoughts and ideas through vivid images and illustrations rather than relying on spoken or written words.
Having pursued his education at both the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and the Academy Minerva in Groningen, Wortel’s artistic endeavors primarily revolve around the exploration of various themes such as Judaism, architecture, cities, and industry.
His fascination lies in the intricate world of architecture, the concept of perspective, the intricacies of man-made constructions, and the inherent connection between individuals and these subjects.
Moreover, Judaism holds a significant place in Peter Wortel’s life. Dealing with the challenges brought about by his Jewish upbringing, including experiences of war, the repression of anger, frustration, and pain, his earlier artistic expressions have eventually evolved into a strong desire to delve into the profound beauty encapsulated within Jewish and biblical symbols.
