Peter Wallimann

Short Profile

Peter Wallimann started drawing and writing at the age of 16 and soon discovered his love for graphics, design, and photography. In parallel to a scientific education as a chemist, he created drawings and ink graphics over the years, always looking for the wholy grail of «sacred geometry», as found in the highly developed ornamentation of India and Persia, and in the mystical work of Emma Kunz. From the millennium onwards, Peter studied digital design and created a graphics project termed Sensigns®, inspired by universal patterns and by OpArt. In parallel, Peter took ten years of intensive photography in Nature, fascinated with insects, flowers, and other small creatures. The artist became known to a broader public in 2018 with the photographic art project Natura Poetica showing digitally manipulated Nature photographs of butterflies and dragonflies against a stellar background.

Peter lives and works in the greater Zurich area. He has written three literary works and numerous articles on various topics. He has been Art Director of WBB GALLERY since 2015. Since then, he has curated two dozen exhibitions and produced several art videos.
