Sündinud / Born 1955
Danish-Estonian artist Per William Petersen had lived and worked as a freelance artist in Tartu, Estonia for more than 13 years. He graduated from Danish Design School in Copenhagen first as a silversmith and then a graphic designer. His sculptures have been made by his own unique technique, humorous and distinctive, combining the asrtist’s educational skills as well as his rich imagination. Per Petersen has always loved painting and drawing . His paintings are varied from subject to theme. Besides his realistic compositions and figures there are also purely geometrical works. Per ‘s topics mostly rotate around people-to-people relationships. With curiosity, surprise and humour, the artist enjoys discovering the truth of the existence of others and himself. Per Petersen ‘s works have been actively exhibited in Estonia recent years as well as in Denmark, Russia, Portugal, USA and other countries.
