The Art of Peter Bering
June 10 - June 14
“My expressions often contain realistic imagery, but never to just imitate a camera. Rather, recognizable elements are used to symbolically evoke and exemplify a mood, thought, spirit, sensation, experience, energy, or atmosphere. Sometimes the symbolic evolutions are meant to reveal a lesson or story to the receptive mind’s eye. Because every human has taken a different life’s journey, the uniqueness of good art is that every viewer takes a different mind’s eye journey.”

About the artist:
“I am an artist and teacher with over 30 years educating youth in art and art history. My story originates in Molidorf, Jugoslavia – a place that no longer exists – and is shaped by surviving the unimaginable.
I first discovered my artistic roots as a young boy in a concentration camp creating images to entertain myself and other starving children. My first artistic supplies including a stick, my imagination and the sand or mud beneath my feet.
Surviving those hardships and immigrating to Canada in 1951 was a blessing that reignited an enforced love for life. In this new life, I became a husband, father, and a teacher of art and citizenship.
Each of my pieces reflects this enduring appreciation for life, etched with symbolism. Every work is accompanied by a written poem, story, or brief reflection, adding depth to the journey I aim to share.
I hope you enjoy exploring my Mind’s Eye Journey.” – Peter Bering
