Henri Peter was raised in Switzerland and Peru. Although not a Native American himself, he has studied and documented the American Indian culture for many years. He feels he is a historian as well as an artists. An artists with natural talents, he took to the canvas only a few years ago, and is rapidly gaining wide recognition.

  Henri portrays on canvas unique style, attention to detail and vivid color. His intensity in life is directly reflected, and adds great inspiration to his works.

  Henri graduated from college in Lausanne, Switzerland and speaks fluent French, German and Spanish. He currently resides in Lausanne where he devotes full time to the art of capturing the dramatic depictions of the Native American spirit and culture. The paintings he creates are imbued with strength, power, intensity and emotion.

  Henri has published several limited edition prints, and continues to be a major mark in the world of Native American Plains Indian originals. He is collected throughout the world by what seems to be very devoted following of collectors.

   Henri Peter’s art spans the gamut of human thought and feeling, seeming almost alive in its vibrant   intensity. Emotion is mixed into the paints he uses; imagination is woven into the canvas.

  Henri Peter’s unique interpretation of the Native American spirit quickly became his trademark. The powerful sensuality of his subjects and the bold colors he paints them with, have broken the mold once surrounding Native American art. Henri has truly created a new form for his art.

  A color blind and self-taught artist, Henri Peter lives  with son Martin and daughter Anya at the shores of the Pacific Ocean in a little sufer town in Peru called Mancora.  His studio is surrounded by nature, which has allowed his imagination and creativity to flourish.
