Thoughts of the delicate nature of 'home'
The nest .
Fragile branches.

Different species of swallows may have variations in their nest-building techniques.
Some swallows build complex communal nests with multiple chambers,
while others, construct cup-shaped nests individually.
The overall process involves collecting materials, creating a mud foundation,… shaping the nest, reinforcing it with twigs and grass, and finally lining the interior.

Sanctuary invites viewers to pause, reflect, and find solace in the harmonious coexistence of the earthly and the celestial, reminding us of the delicate connections that bind us all within the tapestry of life.

Work is photographed without plexiglass to avoid reflections.
The work is best shown without the plexiglass, leaving the beautiful character of Arches paper exposed.
The plexiglass will be sent between paper and backboard .

« 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.
