A catalog extract regarding the artist: "Peter Jalesh's paintings, after all, remain unmistakably traditional abstract and bound up to a manner of painting which maintains the richness and frailty of the sentimental discourse. The polemical-excess that became part of any new direction in contemporary painting is present in his drawings. Also in his drawings one could see the spectacular gesture, be it mechanical or automatism-like. They compete in beauty and audacity with the best drawings ever created. The subtitle "abstract" that accompanies all his exhibitions doesn't make justice to his portraits or impressionist inspired works. Abstract endings on large canvases fit the image of the beginning of this new millennium, when an old concept has to be renewed as the world gets cleared out from our conventional judgment and replaced by a new-world of renewal. Is this new beginning going to generate a new kind of art or it would just recycle old ideas onto new canvases?"
