SAIL AWAY EXPLORE, Acrylic on Canvas, 24 x 30 © Peter VanGiesen
Following a stormy week, the skies started to clear and the sea calmed enough for this sailor to head out of the safe harbour for the next destination. As I painted this 24×30 I thought of the old quote:
“Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Peter Van Giesen Artist Bio
Peter N. Van Giesen grew up in Ontario and completed university degrees in Psychology & Religion in British Columbia where he currently resides. Inspired by “The Eternal Aura of Nature”, for him, the act of creating art is “a mystical process, a spiritual work…”
Van Giesen describes his painting style as one that hovers between representation, impressionism with a dash of abstract. “I attempt to reach into the fabric of the world exploring the dynamics of tension and elasticity. I create images based on the interplay between darkness and light, the interconnected aura of the natural world.”
