Peter Debets studied art history and antropology at the University of Amsterdam.

As art consultant he established his company ‘ArtCircle’ in 1987 and ‘ArtCommunication’ in 2008. He mainly focusses on contemporary sustainable art ideas and supported upcoming talents. This includes Amsterdam-based artists as well as artists born in the Middle East or with a different cultural background who add their point of view to the world of art.

Peter frequently visits artist’s studios and selects the works which are the best representation of the artist. He is strong in artists liasison since he built up strong longlasting relationships to collectors and companies mostly being located in The Netherlands.

Peter’s interest always is in giving the best support to the artists by providing an experienced eye and by creating connections for them.

By putting up ArtCommunicators together with Désirée Preiss he wants to strengthen this profile and to add further components like giving a deeper insight into artist’s ideas to collectors. To him the pre-selection on this platform will be a useful tool to collectors, first by the real connections with the artists and second by making choices easier.

Our Concept

We connect your ideas with art

Art is an universal, non-verbal language that is key to visualize thoughts, emotions, social matters in the world that surrounds us every day. Artist’s reflections show us all of these facets by various forms and by various techniques which express the mind and insight of the creator.

Creativity and artistic activities nowadays the more and more play an important role whilst articulating and analyzing modern life and the phenomenons caused by globalization.

ART ADDS NEW DIMENSION TO YOUR LIFE

We organize exhibitions and cultural exchange

ArtCommunicators wants to sensitize and inspire private persons, companies and institutions for art. As experienced art historians we offer selected artists a platform to present their work and to connect with an art-interested audience.

As ArtCommunicators we fulfill the function of a ‘filter’ in today’s flood of images of the online art market. We only represent young talents as well as established artists whose ideas and artistic potential have convinced us.

WE INVITE TO STEP INTO THE WORLD OF ART
