Peter Taumate

Peter Taumate’s studio in Montreal, Canada.

Peter Taumate is a self-taught artist from Montréal, Canada. Growing up in a creative household, Peter’s initial artistic inclinations leaned towards music rather than painting. His approach to painting has been described as “akin to a sculptor chiseling away at stone, where each brush stroke contributes to the overall harmony of his work. The distinct color palettes and intricate play of light and shadow accentuate the emotive quality of his feminine portraits, creating a visual narrative inviting deeper exploration of the subjects depicted.”

What is your favourite thing about your studio?

The studio I currently work in right now is essentially my living room and kitchen combined together. It provides quick access to the sink and all my materials, but most importantly, the coffee machine! I try to keep the space clean and organized, as the artistic process tends to create an inevitable but beautiful natural mess. There is also a large window that allows ample natural light to flood in during the day and into the late afternoon, which is ideal for long sessions of creation. I’m grateful for it, it’s my little sanctuary.
