BIOGRAPHY

Deimion grew up on a bio-dynamic farm in South America but he came back from Argentina at the age of 16 to finish his high school at the Waldorf school in Zutphen. In 2010 he graduated as graphic designer at the School of the Arts in Utrecht. Since then he started discovering interesting niches between visual arts, design, performance, installation and film. First together with Hidde Meulenbeek under the name 'Studio Zijspan', and since 2015 on his own simply as 'Peim'.
Through strong ‘chiaroscuro’, vibrating colors, (moiré) patterns and compositions he draws your attention. With a wide range of techniques including sticker collage, silkscreen and painting he is ‘tricking’ the visual perception of the viewer questioning themes of identity, reality and time.
His collaborative and autonomous work has been exhibited in different galleries around the world.
