“WHEN I MEET PEOPLE WHO ARE SELF-CONSCIOUS AND UNLIMITED, I’M IMMEDIATELY FASCINATED”

Since 2018 Peter Juhan, 34 years old Finnish multidisciplinary artist has shaken and colored Finland's minority culture, music and art world by storm. He works as a fetish photographer, DJ, electronic musician and club organizer.

Peter is known by his sexual and humorous, black&white social art which explores and embodies BDSM, masculinity, male physics, fetish/kinky lifestyle and gay subcultures. All his works have authentic, beautiful raw power because his models are those of true enthusiasm and desire.

“WE ALL HAVE OUR NECESSITIES TO BELONG AND LIVE OUR LIVES IN OUR OWN TERMS. NO ONE CAN’T TAKE THAT AWAY. EXPLORING OWN SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR AND EXPRESSING IT INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY IS ESSENTIAL. THAT’S BEING A HUMAN. AND INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL.”

Since 2021 Peter has already created three solo exhibitions which have gained notable attention. Parts of his exhibitions have been on display in Berlin during Folsom Europe 2023 and Easter Berlin Leather Week. In addition to Finland his artworks have been sold to Germany, United Kingdom, Denmark, USA, Australia and Japan, for instance.

“WHEN I MEET PEOPLE WHO ARE SELF-CONSCIOUS AND UNLIMITED, I’M IMMEDIATELY FASCINATED. ESPECIALLY FETISHISM. THERE ARE IMMENSE AMOUNT OF POWER AND PASSION IN IT. I SEE THAT AS AN EXTENSION OF PERSONALITY WHICH COMES TO LIFE THROUGH CLOTHING, COMMUNITY AND RIGHT STATE OF MIND.”
