About the Artwork
A street scene in Cebu in which the barangay lies under the expansive Commercial Business District. The picture freezes a moment in which these untitled properties may disappear as commercialism could take over.
This piece was created with watercolor techniques onto a greyscale printed picture onto a watercolor art paper. This gives a unique detail of a high-resolution photograph and vibrant colors and individuality that only come from watercolor.

artworks,
and is available for
commissioned work.
Peter is UK-born and is now a permanent resident of Cebu.
He studied photography at Paddington College London. Then, he took up watercolor painting approximately 10 years ago. His work combines the two mediums using the photographic techniques of composition, light, and "capturing the moment," combined with the vibrance and saturation watercolor gives.
He views the familiar Filipino street scene differently--seeing a landscape of pure light and color. That sari sari store, jeepney, advertising hoarding, etc., is not a function to get coffee, shampoo, or a ride home but a source of high saturation of color within the moment. His art documents the ever-changing life of the Filipino, which will adapt and vary in years to come.
He has exhibited at art fairs, like the Tubo Art Fair in Cebu.
