Peter Laqua is first and foremost, a lover and nurturer of life. With over 25 years of experience as a nurse, he has embarked on a creative journey that draws upon his deep understanding of the intricacies of human health and well-being. He describes himself as a multidisciplinary artist whose diverse range of mediums, including moving image, printmaking, photography, drawing, sculpture, painting, installation, and collage, allowing him to explore and convey the complexity of the human experience, both in terms of health and the broader spectrum of life.

He is particularly captivated by how individuals react, function, and integrate within the healthcare system. Healthcare workers often find themselves in situations that defy societal norms, where extremes in human emotions and physical conditions manifest, spanning the spectrum from profoundly positive to deeply challenging. Capturing and conveying these nuanced elements is a central theme that permeates his work. 

Repurposing of found, dead, and disused objects is another area that Laqua explores. Providing new life and meaning to objects that have been discarded or forgotten, mirroring the themes of transformation and renewal that he explores in the realm of health and well-being.

Laqua is dedicated to creating artwork that provides viewers with a contemplative space—a space to reflect, question, and engage with the work on a profound level. It is his intention that his art serves as a catalyst for dialogue and introspection, inviting the audience to explore the complex narratives woven into each piece. His art is a testament to the human experience, the complexity of health, and the connection between individuals and healthcare. He aims to illuminate extraordinary moments in everyday life, challenge assumptions, and inspire reflection. Ultimately, he celebrates life's beauty and human resilience, inviting viewers to explore health, well-being, and the art of existence with him.
