First Impressions, Deeper Impressions
I’m Steven Peter, a Canadian abstract-surrealist painter exploring the space between structure and suggestion. My work invites deeper looking and layered meaning through form, feeling, and quiet tension.
What you see depends on how long you look.
First Glimpse
Clues from a dream you almost remember.
Frolicking
36" x 36", acrylic on gallery canvas
A structured celebration of motion, where colour and form dance in balance.
Construction Sight
30" x 48", acrylic on gallery canvas
A layered field of form and stillness, suggesting something built, abandoned, or remembered.
Pathways to Somewhere
36" x 36", acrylic on gallery canvas
A spatial riddle of shifting lines and uncertain destinations.
New Works: Impossible Series Suite
A three-part series of 30x24 inch acrylic paintings, soon to be finished.
I'm excited to soon share all three paintings of my newest series. Each piece explores some variant of impossible objects which are visual representations that cannot exist in three-dimensional space. They are titled Impossible Journey, Impossible Destinations, and Impossible Relic. Stay tuned!

New Painting: Whispers Beneath the Tilled Sky
"The land remembers what we try to forget."
A painting that invites reflection on the hidden lives of animal and the traces they leave in our world.
—Steven Peter
Now Available on Saatchi Art
I've deactivated the sale of my paintings at Saatchi Art. This is because of some exhibit and sale commitments to the Federation of Canadian Artists. Artworks at Saatchi will be for sale in 2026.
You can still browse my artworks, discover new pieces, and collect originals directly from my studio.
