Family Portraits – comments
Retratos de familia – observaciones
Me gusta Movimiento Perpetuo porque parece un reloj, parecen muchas personas y lo que tiene gracia es que giran las imágenes y que nunca conectan
I like Perpetual Motion because it looks like a clock, I can see many people turning around and they never connect with each other
Me gusta Madre e Hija Reflejándose porque cuando me ponía a un lado solo veía a la madre, cuando me ponía al otro lado solo veía a la hija y cuando me ponía de frente veía a los dos sonriendo
I like Mother and Daughter Reflecting because first I just saw the Mum, but when I moved to the other side I saw the daughter and from the front I saw them both, smiling and happy
Me gusta Puzle de Pareja porque es en 3D y representa el amor de esa pareja
I like Couple Puzzle because it is in 3D and it represents the love that lives in that couple

Tu trabajo se ha incrustado en el inconsciente colectivo de las nuevas generaciones que, a partir de ahora, verán el mundo distinto y más amable con los otros. Un abrazo (Maite, profesora)
Peter, thank you for your kindness, your wisdom, your vision… for the ability to make us see unimagined aspects of reality.

I love the beautiful exhibition. I don’t have the words. You are incredible and the ideas you have…everything, everything, everything
The good feeling I get is hard to put into words. The ability you have to mix images and ideas in the way that you do can only come from a brilliant mind

Tus inteligencias múltiples están perfectamente conjugadas y plasmadas…sensibilidad, creatividad, talento, esfuerzo y simbolismo configuran un trabajo inmejorable. Enhorabuena, ánimo para seguir creando y disfrutando con el arte comunicando tanta belleza. (Maria Jose)
Your many gifts are perfectly combined and expressed…sensitivity, creativity, talent, effort and symbolism make for unbeatable work. Congratulations and may you continue creating and enjoying your art which expresses so much beauty. (Maria Jose)
It’s a very cool and professional looking venue and does credit to the work. What strikes me is that seeing so many pieces displayed together makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts. It becomes clear that you use the photography and it’s rearrangement to show many different ways in which individual’s are connected to each other. It helps people to understand where you are coming from. Seeing all the ways in which you deconstruct and restructure the images is fascinating and thought provoking. (Susan)
