Peter J Maltz

Peter Jacob Maltz is a multidisciplinary artist working in drawing, sculpture, painting, printing and writing.

His work explores the meeting point between everyday experience and the mythical through material processes that open questions of meaning,consciousness, and transformation.

For more than twenty five years, he has explored the relationship between visual language and narrative forms such as diaries, storytelling, instructional texts, and allegory.

Journey is central to his practice. Walks, travels, and encounters become both subject and method, transforming personal experience into visual form.

His sculptures often take the form of reliefs created through assemblage, casting, and modeling. His drawings are frequently developed as series and presented as storyboards or artist books, tracing paths through memory, observation, and imagination.

Combining abstract and narrative approaches, Maltz creates works that connect the intimate and the universal, the material and the metaphysical.
