His childhood passed in difficult for the country and the people historical circumstances which have left in soul deep wounds. But as the true master, the energy of the protest the artist has managed subsequently to translate into the energy of high art. Peter Gergardovich began his career as a muralist, but soon the graphics became the main form of his work: first monotype, then pastel. In his work he sought to embody the plasticity of light, "which can have an infinitely varied sound: from silent and tranquil to tense and dramatic. (P. Dick)
Peter Dika explains his term "trapped light" as follows: "When applied to a human being, it is his inner light, the light of goodness and love, that which enables him to resist the abyss of darkness. In an artwork, it is the plasticity of light, which, however, can have an infinitely varied sound: from silent and peaceful to tensely dramatic.
