| Peter Cavaciuti's paintings capture the exquisite beauty of the traditional Chinese Nanga style, and the expansion of this technique within Japanese art. Peter works with Chinese ink and traditional pigments on a variety of handmade papers. Nanga literally means 'Southern Painting' and refers to the Southern School in China from which it originated. Peter is one of only a few European artists to have studied and researched Chinese and Japanese painting under the leading masters in the field. He has exhibited in numerous countries including England, Japan, Belgium and Switzerland.
