Peeter Must

I was born in 1967 in Estonia, which was back then an occupied, closed society. Growing up in these conditions, a person receives very little outside influence. Their development is mostly driven by their inner feelings. In a closed system, you have no background noise, no external factors or opinions to shape you. For an artist, this situation presents an environment where they are able to evolve purely, dreaming of things that in an open society might already have gone out of fashion.

I studied and graduated the Estonian Academy of Arts, majoring in Ceramic Art. But applied arts could never fully entice me, thus I made a choice in my youth that led me into the business world for almost three decades. An important part of the ability to succeed at my job and business in general is the sense of creativity. Creating a company can be considered a creation as well... like a painting, where you need to set the composition and balance the colours. So, for many years I was working in arts as well as business, with one complimenting the other.

However, true art cannot be divided. By now I have finished everything that has ever been in my way of creating art and that has opened up a new, hidden world for me. A world full of colours...
