ABOUT THE ARTWORK
DETAILS AND DIMENSIONS
SHIPPING AND RETURNS
This piece began without a defined subject or intention. The artist approached the canvas openly, allowing instinct and movement to guide the process. As the work evolved, a familiar form began to emerge almost on its own—the Sphinx. Its presence surfaced gradually, shaped by memory rather than cons...

Peter Notis is a Melbourne-born artist whose creative path has been anything but conventional. Born and bred in Melbourne, Australia, Peter first built his career as a restauranteur, working in some of the world’s finest restaurants and travelling extensively across Europe, Asia, and South America. His culinary career immersed him in diverse cultures, colors, and sensory experiences—elements that would later find new expression in his art.
During a pivotal and deeply challenging period of his life, Peter found himself imprisoned in Argentina. It was there, in confinement, that he taught himself to paint. What began as a way to pass time soon became something far more profound: a means of reflection, resilience, and emotional survival.
Since that time, art has become both his language and his therapy. His work often carries themes of memory, strength, vulnerability, and transformation—reflecting not only his experiences but also his enduring optimism and creative spirit. Through bold color, abstraction, and symbolic forms, Peter channels personal history into visual expression.
Now living in Egypt, a place for which he feels a deep spiritual and cultural affinity, Peter continues to evolve as an artist. The rich history, symbolism, and light of Egypt influence his palette and perspective, informing a body of work that is both personal and universal. His journey—from Melbourne kitchens to global travels, from imprisonment to artistic rebirth—shapes a practice grounded in healing, growth, and the power of reinvention.
