NFS


​Artist’s Statement
John Pesutto was born in 1970 and is an Australian politician and lawyer who has served as the member of Hawthorn in the Victorian Legislative Assembly since 2022, having previously served from 2024 to 2018.  He was the Leader of the Opposition in Victoria while holding office as the Victorian Liberal Party from 8th December 2022 until a Leadership spill on 27th December 2024.
 
John focuses on delivering results and outcomes.  Friendships are the driver of his being.  John has served clients for over many decades and has maintained strong relationships.  To John, communication, social focus, honesty and integrity are the things that people know they can rely and depend on him.
 
 This painting is a recognition of his dedication and professional service to all those that he has helped over the years.  As a friend, like his family, we are all so proud of John and I want to congratulate him with painting him for my entry into The 2025 Archibald Entry.
 
John’s painting has been a blessing to me, as life is about living and giving those special things to people that inspire you in life.
