Peter Robert Keil was born in August 1942 in Züllichau / Pommern (now Poland). After the death of his father on the Eastern Front in the early years of WWII, mother and son set out to make their way through the chaos of battered Germany to West Berlin. There he grew up in the streets and backyards of a neighborhood of countless grey blocks of houses, seeking refuge in the trees of a nearby park oftentimes depicted in his paintings.
The young Keil was excited by the world opened to him in the art book section of the local library. There he admired the works of the Expressionists, Picasso in particular. The pure energy of vivid color opened a pathway to temporarily escape from the dullness and depression of everyday life in post-war Germany as Peter made his first attempts at visual art. In the beginning, Peter studied and copied the style of the great master Picasso whom he later met in Spain.
