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. "God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference is nowhere..." Trismegistus. It represents protection, gold, and as 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 from the unknown and therefore represents a protected and/or consecrated place. In Zen Buddhism, an empty circle represents enlightenment.

Figurative works have moved to ' Sentient Animalia' - Saatchi Page Landscape works have moved to - 'Ancient Light' - Saatchi Page From South Africa to the south of France via London, Peter Pitout has developed a style of his own. He has participated in several exhibitions in France, and art residencies in France, Germany, and Finland. Artist Statement - Often referencing physics and metaphysics, my work explores the varying relationships between philosophy, surreal concepts, and the modern digital age. Engaging subjects as diverse as particle physics, meditation and intimacy, my work reproduces familiar visuals and symbolism, arranging them into new conceptually layered images. While I use a variety of materials and processes within my body of work, I naturally return to oil paint. I enjoy studying modern concepts through this ancient lens. My series of works are linked by recurring observations of the current time and through the study of subject matter. The subject matter of each body of work determines the materials and the formats of the work. Each project often consists of multiple works, grouped around a specific theme.
