Peter Camani

Who is Peter Camani?

Peter Camani is a Canadian artist and sculptor who has created an unusual residence, castle, and sculpture garden on an old farm near Burk's Falls, Ontario, Canada, which is most commonly known as Screaming Heads.

Camani is a retired art teacher, but he is best known for his fantasy castle called "Midlothian Castle," which he has spent over 25 years constructing. Monolith-like sculptures in the shape of giant heads are scattered throughout the property. A two-headed dragon sits atop the chimney and his version of the See/Say/Hear No Evils greet visitors. There are more than a hundred “screaming head” sculptures, each one 20 feet in height. Camani says he built his otherworldly creations as a warning about environmental degradation. With his paintings already hanging in such coveted places as the Vatican and Buckingham Palace, he decided to focus his energy on realizing a vision of significantly larger proportions.

He has collaborative agreements with organizations to have events involving this land, such as the Harvest Festival.

His castle has been featured several times on Canadian television, including the CBC series On The Road Again, Arthur Black's Weird Homes and more.
