Life On Earth Coloring Books is a project that took shape in 2017 after returning from an urban photo safari.
Michael Peter’s artworks portray the visions and limits of our society, its history and its development. As an art photographer, he is particularly interested in the vanishing points as a tool of acquiescence to absoluteness, yet his fascination for the image and its lines was pushed to the extent of creating drawings from its own photographs.
But all this emerged from the passion of his beloved wife for adult coloring books and encouraged by all the family members. Hence, one can say this project is the perfect embodiment of a family collaboration.
Timeless Series: Manhattan is one of the first project that brought our family to meet a common art goal.
Amongst other values, in our family, we firmly believe, in the benefits of a life full of projects since across all age groups, reaching goals and carrying out projects improves well-being.
“Ideally, you will find a goal in life by combining your passion and your talents. I am a lucky man. Every day I enter a world of creative self-expression that takes me on a meaningful journey and I focus on vibrant details to empower the visual language of lines. That’s my passion.”
MICHAEL PETER • ART PHOTOGRAPHER
What is in the book Timeless Series: Manhattan? It offers a selection of twenty-four photographs of iconic sites and golden moments in the history of Manhattan. It is to you to unveil the striking details of each of the twenty-four drawings with your own colors.
As a final touch and for easy gifting or display, each drawing is printed on one side only. Mom, our expert colorist, thought you might appreciate that.
“This project started as a pleasant discovery to become a stunning never-ending adventure. And I realize at age 80 that I am still hungry to learning, but above all that I profoundly love the ties of our family. I told you, I am a lucky man.”
