Author Bio

Peter Shoukry is a Contemporary Artist and Fashion Model from Los
Angeles, Ca. Growing up, Peter was always naturally fascinated by art, from
Mickey Mouse to Van Gogh he absorbed like a sponge everything that was
drawn, sketched, or painted.

At the age of 16 Peter immersed himself in art completely to become a
contemporary artist. A year later, his art was featured in 'Norbertellen
Gallery' and 'The Happening Gallery' in Los Angeles. Shortly after, Peter
had exhibitions in solo galleries and masterpieces sold to private collectors
in various locations around the world.

To help subsidize his artistic endeavors, Peter turned to modeling, and after
walking over 70 runway shows across the globe for household names such
as Calvin Klein, William Lei and Hugo Boss, he learned to relish what he
describes as that, Euphoric sense of taking on the world, alone and
invincible, as you walk down the runway and into the eye of the storm.

Peter took a lot of inspiration from fashion shows and meeting new people
while constantly traveling to fashion weeks in every major city. In Peter's
words, Art to me is only art if it's trying to say something, I have never
made an art piece to show something that is obvious, I will show it to you
the way I see it. With every painting I try to make that line between reality
and imagination thinner, until I have no idea what's real anymore. They say
beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and since the beholder (me) is an artist,
I can show you how or why it's beautiful.
