Contemporary artist Peter Keil was born in 1942 in Poland. After losing his father in WW II, he moved with his mother to West Berlin. While there, he was inspired by the Expressionist art he found in books at his local library. Peter Keil's oil paintings of landscapes showcased vibrant colors, and it wasn’t until later in his career that he focused more on contemporary portraiture to raise social awareness.
Artist Peter Keil was a witness to the effects the building of the Berlin Wall had on West Berlin, and these narratives were often the subjects of his artwork. Much of Peter Keil's art for sale was inspired by his mentor Otto Nagel, and it often depicts what are considered the less desirable factions of society.

Akiba GalleriesSigned Peter Keil Abstract Portrait Acrylic Painting on Paper, Untitled. Peter Robert Keil (German, born 1942). Influenced by German Expressionism and graffiti elements, Keil is known for his simplified abstractions of traditional art subjects. He studied under Otto Nagel at a young age and developed relationships with other renowned artists such as Joan Miró. As Keil abandoned realism and developed his signature style, he used more vibrant colors rapidly applied with large gestural brushstrokes resembling the abstract style of Picasso.
