Tomas Peeters was born in Belgium in the 1960s. From an early age, he felt the world as tumultuous and overwhelming. As a young boy, he began building physical structures—portals, of sorts—in a quest to locate the unmoving center of this chaotic world.

Driven by this lifelong inquiry, Tomas earned a Master’s of Fine Arts in 2003 and founded Lumina Pura, his art and research studio in Los Angeles. There, with the help of a small and devoted team, he continues to develop his life’s work: The Zero-Distance Observatories.

As an artist—explorer, he creates these meticulously calibrated Observatories in order to see how this apparently turbulent world is nothing other than his unmoving center! Tomas invites others to step inside his installations to see that unfiltered reality has no center. After gazing into the Observatories, the world will never look the same!
