Peter Thomas Foster

Peter is the original founder of The Arts Inn.

​

With more than forty years devoted to painting, his journey is rooted in rigorous artistic training and shaped by exhibitions in Florence, Venice, and Saint‑Paul‑de‑Vence—cities where art breathes through every stone.

​

Since 2006, he has welcomed collectors into his Atelier in the historical center of Florence.

​

His craft is guided by color and by the play of light and shadow.

 

Drawing from the chiaroscuro tradition of the great Masters, he creates contrasts that reveal depth, emotion, and a sense of quiet drama.

​

Peter’s paintings, marked by their elegant simplicity, arrange objects with intention—each one chosen for its symbolic resonance.

 

Through this thoughtful balance, his works achieve a luminous harmony, where light and darkness speak to one another in a language uniquely his.
