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