Peter Csizmar was born in Baden-Wurttemberg Germany to Hungarian parents and grew up in Vojvodina , Yugoslavia.

He has been drawing and painting since childhood–experimenting in a variety of styles and media.  The current exhibition features works on paper depicting the landscapes of his childhood.

“The natural beauty of  Vojvodina has influenced my latest work.  The textures, and earthy colors, the flowers and the fields as well as the colors of the sky have inspired me to paint the landscapes of my youth.”
