About this artwork
'LUX'
Oil and Oil Pastel on Canvas
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
― John Muir
LUX was created in the quiet expanses of the French countryside, where light and stillness coexist in subtle harmony. This painting captures the ceaseless movement of illumination — spirals of radiance that seem to dance through air and matter alike. Ethereal trails of color weave across deep turquoise and violet atmospheres, suggesting… both cosmic and cellular motion. In LUX, light becomes a living entity, shifting between presence and disappearance, chaos and order. Each glowing sphere echoes the pulse of stars, neurons, and memories — a choreography of energy that connects all living things. The work reflects an inquiry into how luminosity moves through nature and consciousness, revealing patterns of beauty within apparent disorder. LUX stands as an exploration of radiance — its rhythm, its fragility, and its power to illuminate even the unseen.

« 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.
