Peter Donkersloot was born in Arnhem in 1959. He grew up in the forests of the Veluwe but also spent a significant part of his youth in the Betuwe. This later proved to have a major influence on his work, particularly on his 'Dutch Landscape Paintings', with their many bodies of water containing characteristic reflections of the sky. After attending the Arnhem Art Academy in the late 1970s, he first worked for several years as a commercial artist and illustrator at, among others, the renowned advertising agency FHV-BBDO. This start was to be expected, as his father, Piet Donkersloot, was also a well-known illustrator. In the mid-1980s, when Peter was twenty-six, something began to feel wrong: he could no longer combine commercial art with his true great love, namely fine art painting. When his father passed away in 1986, he decided to take a gamble; one must try to realize one's dreams as much as possible. Peter Donkersloot paints at a rapid pace and can be found in his studio day and (especially) at night. With his highly distinctive works, the artist has by now managed to appeal to a large following of enthusiasts. Consequently, exhibitions are invariably sold out, and the artist is exhibiting increasingly abroad.
