Peter Köhler
To express and manifest oneself as a painter is a form of full contact. It’s important for me to work with a quick and direct medium. I’m interested in perception and in combining the real and the imaginative, the rational and the intuitive. I get inspiration from daily life. Peripheral brain ghosts, deviant distractions, and the healing love of the Universe.
