Peter Bakacs is a painter and designer based in Victoria, Australia. His acrylic paintings reflect a lifelong fascination with vintage vehicles, industrial landscapes, and pop-inspired typography. Guided by intuition and a keen eye for design, he explores form, colour, and nostalgia through bold, precise compositions. Bakacs’ work has been exhibited extensively at Outré Gallery in Melbourne and features in private, corporate, and gallery collections across Australia, the United States, and Japan.
