About Artist

Peter Lik

Peter Lik is a globally acclaimed fine art photographer renowned for his vivid, panoramic landscapes that capture the raw beauty of nature. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to Czech immigrants, Lik's passion for photography was ignited at age eight with a Kodak Brownie camera—a gift from his parents. Entirely self-taught, he has dedicated over 35 years to mastering his craft, traversing the globe to immortalize its most breathtaking vistas. His distinctive style, characterized by vibrant colors and dramatic compositions, has garnered over 500 international awards. Lik's work is showcased in galleries across the United States, attracting collectors worldwide, including royalty, presidents, and celebrities. Among his most celebrated pieces is Phantom, a black-and-white photograph taken in Arizona's Antelope Canyon, which sold for $6.5 million, positioning it among the most expensive photographs ever sold. Beyond photography, Lik has expanded his artistic vision into architectural design with his Jewel Homes project, blending luxury living with natural aesthetics. His commitment to capturing and sharing the planet's beauty continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world. Explore his work at lik.com.
