About this artwork
Beginning - From the ongoing 'Ablution' series.
Through both personal experience and the history of painting, it is inevitable to encounter religious iconography.
This series is a contemplation of the state of spirituality and science in 2020.
Spirituality seems to have evolved into a new dawn of enlightenment.
A 'mash-up' of sorts of older religious systems and more modern philosophy.
I've been influenced by ideas and philosophy as varied… as the 'bible', to the 'Bhagavad-Gita', to the 'Chariots of the Gods', to 'The emperors new mind' This is an interpretation and mix of those concepts.
* An ablution is a washing or a cleaning of oneself, for personal hygiene, or a ritual washing or cleaning associated with religious observance. ... All the major religions have some rituals of purification.

« My work captures abstraction, surrealism and the unpredictable. I trace the paths taken by my subjects throughout the creative process. Each work is unique. Each work, a new destination. »
Peter Pitout is an artist based in France, whose work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
Drawing from his childhood in Durban, South Africa and a background in industrial art and design, he creates paintings that balance structured forms with surrealist gestures.
His multidisciplinary practice spans oil painting, embroidery, and conceptual research, often exploring themes of light, vibration, and transformation. Pitout has participated in several art residencies in France and abroad, using these immersive experiences to deepen his artistic inquiry and expand his visual language.
For him, the creative process is a return to inner roots—a space for reflection, reconnection, and the evolution of artistic consciousness.
