About this artwork
BIOMECHANICS
The circle is the universal symbol of unity and infinity.
I have been drawing spheres since the age of 10.
I find meditation and reflection in its execution.
Many scholars believe it was most likely man's first symbol.
It is symbolic of all cycles: the seasons, life and death, the movement of the planets; the self, eternity, God.
"Trismegistus is a circle of center is everywhere and circumferences is nowhere ..."
It represents… protection, gold, and the glyph for zero, nothing.
The circle has been part of our social and spiritual beliefs from the beginning.
Man has built homes, villages, and religious and magical sites in circular shapes.
A circle is a continuous line which separates the inside from the outside; a space that is part of,
yet separate from, the rest of creation.
The circle divides the known and is a protected and / or consecrated place.
In Zen Buddhism, an empty circle represents enlightenment.

« 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.
