Imbued with a passion for capturing the ephemeral interplay of light and hue, Peter crafts canvases that resonate with vibrant luminosity and chromatic splendor. He patiently awaits the elusive moment when daylight transmutes the mundane into the extraordinary, offering us a glimpse of the world not as it is, but as it could be. His works encompass the serene vistas of Cape Cod, the untamed grace of wildlife, and the nuanced expressions of human figures and faces.
Peter’s versatility shines through in his mastery of various mediums, including oils, acrylics, and pastels, allowing him to traverse the spectrum from intricately rendered subjects to the fluidity of impressionistic scenery. His journey in portraiture was sculpted under the tutelage of esteemed artists such as Cedric and Joanette Egeli, John Kilroy, and Robert Hertz. The rich tradition of The Cape Cod School of Arts, through mentors like Lois Griffel, Carol Wescott, and Salvatore DelDeo, has deeply influenced his vibrant palette.
A native of Cuba, Peter now shares his time between the tranquil shores of Truro and the sun-kissed ambiance of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His commitment to the arts extends beyond creation to education, as he imparts his knowledge as a distinguished member of The Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill. His artistic journey has been celebrated in solo exhibitions at prestigious venues such as the Hibel Museum of Art, the Palm Beach Gardens Council on the Art, and the Truro Public Library.
