Peter Doig (b. 1959) is a Scottish painter celebrated for his evocative, dreamlike landscapes that blend memory, imagination, and cultural references. Born in Edinburgh, he spent his early years in Trinidad and Canada, experiences that deeply inform his art. Doig's paintings often feature solitary figures in expansive, atmospheric settings—such as snowy Canadian forests or tropical Caribbean scenes—rendered with rich textures and vibrant colors. Rather than depicting specific locales, his work captures the essence of places filtered through personal recollection and emotional resonance. Drawing inspiration from photographs, films, and art history, Doig creates compositions that feel both familiar and otherworldly. His distinctive style has garnered international acclaim, with works held in major institutions like the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Tate Modern in London.
