stefan peters

Oh, I love these paintings by Belgian painter Stefan Peters. I loved them immediately, but it took me a second to figure out why… it’s the shadows! These gorgeous, muted landscapes almost look like circular shadow boxes, with the trees and clouds sitting closer to us than the sky/rest of the forest. So beautiful… and not tiny! These circular canvases range in size from 20″ to  44″ in diameter. Yes. I’m going to need one. Or eight.

    I love these too. Somehow the roundness makes them more mysterious. Would love to see them in person, to get the impact of their size.

    Oh yes, the shadows! These are absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors, shape, subject matter and of course, the shadows.

    Hauntingly beautiful! Do you know for sure they’re on canvas? The first thing I thought when I saw them is that they look like they were reverse-painted on glass!

    shadows make all the difference, adding so much depth to the picture.

    Wow I totally agree, they’re all so beautiful. All of the shapes and colours are fantastic! I thought they were all in shadow boxes too.
