Peter Botos
When making his sculptures, he uses cold techniques to process the optical glasses. The work consists of blocks and columns, which he cuts into only a few elements, then grinds, polishes and glues, repeating the process many times. His constructions consist of simple, basic geometric shapes. Through the size of the individual elements, the gluing, matte, glossy and different colored optical glasses, he achieves the rampant inner visual richness that finally appears in his sculptures.

The work consists of blocks and columns, which he cuts into only a few elements, then grinds, polishes and glues, repeating the process many times. His constructions consist of simple, basic geometric shapes. Through the size of the individual elements, the gluing, matte, glossy and different colored optical glasses, he achieves the rampant inner visual richness that finally appears in his sculptures. We can think of his works as geometric baroque sculptures.

At the age of 59, he organized his first solo exhibition in 2004, entitled Kockázát (A Square Deal), in Hungary's first glass gallery. Since then, he has been exhibiting continuously in Europe and the USA, as well as in China.
For Péter, due to the use of optical glass, the external and internal form, the reflections inside the sculptures, the effects, the colors and the lights are equally important. He seeks a balance of these in his works, in which he is concerned with directed lights, the relationship between his sculptures and their surroundings. In addition to the usual appearance, some sculptures use lenses and prism systems.
