Per Vilt is a contemporary painter whose practice bridges rigorous technique with a restless curiosity for art history. Born with a natural inclination toward the visual arts, he pursued formal training in Canada, where he immersed himself in both traditional methods and modern approaches to painting. His relocation to Berlin marked a decisive chapter in his career, situating him within a city renowned for its vibrant, international art scene and experimental spirit.

What distinguishes Vilt’s work is his deep engagement with the history of painting—not as static reference, but as a living dialogue. His canvases reveal the influence of classical composition and the humanist precision of the Old Masters, while also embracing the psychological immediacy and raw presence more typical of 20th-century portraiture. By weaving these threads together, Per Vilt has established a practice that feels both timeless and acutely contemporary, affirming his place among a generation of painters reinvigorating the medium for the present.
