Petrus Akkordeon (born September 27, 1971 in Berlin-Steglitz ) is a German artist.

Petrus Akkordeon studied art after dropping out of various other studies (philosophy, psychology, religious studies) and lives in Berlin-Lichterfelde.

He works in the tension field of animal-human relationships, which have been documented in numerous exhibitions and book publications. A special focus of his work lies in the attempt to convey poetry directly. This not only resulted in conventional books, but Accordion also read his texts in callable telephone booths or purposefully lost envelopes with his drawings and poems in the urban space of Berlin, which were supposed to be found and looked at by passers-by. In his residential area, Accordion is guerrilla gardening on a traffic island. Petrus Akkordeon worked directly with other artists (Georg Kakelbeck, Thomas Klingberg, Britta Clausnitzer, FW Bernstein and others), resulting in numerous group works in which the individual existences of the artist personalities were combined in a new work.

According to the artist himself, it is less about his finished picture or poem than about the process of creation and the moment of reception by the casual observer.
