About Pete Hawkins

Contemporary Figurative Artist

Pete Hawkins is a contemporary UK artist whose work explores movement, memory and the feeling of belonging across cultures. He paints ballerinas, rodeo riders and ornate travel-inspired stamps — subjects that may seem different, yet all share a dynamic sense of motion, identity and story.

Growing up between countries, from Texas to Asia to Europe, Pete carries those rhythms, colours and histories into his figurative paintings. Each piece becomes a moment of energy frozen in time — a doorway into the worlds that shaped him.

Through original contemporary paintings and limited edition art prints, Pete creates character-driven artwork that reflects both personal experience and universal themes of place, transition and identity.
