Peter J Maltz

Peter Jacob Maltz is a contemporary visual artist whose work explores the space between everyday experience and the mythical.

Drawing on personal encounters, memories, and journeys, he transforms lived experience into layered visual narratives.

A graduate of the Royal College of Art, London, where he studied sculpture, Maltz has developed a distinctive artistic language over more than twenty-five years.

His work moves between the familiar and the imagined, engaging questions of belonging, memory, time, consciousness, and transformation.

The journey is central to his practice, both as a physical experience and as an inner exploration. Walks, travels, and ordinary encounters become starting points for works in which personal experience acquires symbolic and universal dimensions.

Rooted in drawing and sculpture, his practice extends into painting, printmaking, and artist’s books. His sculptural reliefs combine assemblage, casting, and modelling, while his drawings often unfold as visual sequences, weaving observation, storytelling, and imagination.

Maltz’s work has been recognised through major awards and exhibitions, and is held in public collections including the Israel Museum and the Petach Tikva Museum of Art.

Through a visual language that is at once intimate and allegorical, his work invites viewers to look anew at the familiar and to discover unexpected meanings within the everyday

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