"My compulsion to paint landscapes is primarily a reaction to somehow trying to record my feelings of awe and wonder before such places, but is also a way of allowing those impressions to linger a little longer during the process of painting them"
As one of Britain’s leading landscape artists, Peter Symonds is undeniably a master at capturing the scale and awe of dramatic landscape vistas. Through his paintings we are taken on a breathtaking journey through some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes: from the sweeping glens of the Scottish Highlands and the dramatic high cliffs of the Devon & Cornwall coast, to the idyllic, picturesque villages of Surrey & Sussex and the warm, quiet majesty of historic Morocco.
Peter was born in Surrey in 1964. As a self-taught artist, Peter started painting professionally following his graduation from Leicester University at the age of twenty-two. Working exclusively in oils on canvas, Peter is primarily a landscape painter. He is identified most closely with his views of the Sussex and Surrey countryside close to his home and studio, but is also widely celebrated as a painter of the English Lake District and the Scottish Highlands. In addition to the picturesque rivers, mountains and coastlines of the British Isles, Peter achieves great variety and scope travelling to and painting wild and remote places around the world.
