Peggy Hinaekian has been a professional artist for many decades.  She is a graduate of the Italian Academy of Art “Leonardo da Vinci”, Rome, McGill University, Montreal, Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris and the Centre for Contemporary Prints, Geneva Switzerland.   Peggy started her career as a fashion designer in New York City.  Travels throughout the world have determined the nostalgic and lyrical character of Peggy’s work, which consists mainly of acrylic and mixed media on canvas, as well as works on paper.

“I consider myself a color field painter and am foremost a colorist.  I rarely work with a preconceived vision for the final product, thus allowing the possibility of ambiguity and surprise.  Conceptually, I try in immerse the viewer in the perceptual experience of space, color and light….Finally, by using color and texture, I try to breathe movement in the abstract landscapes to guide the viewer into the paintings and make him wander into a different reality.”

She has shown her work extensively throughout Europe, Japan, Canada, South Africa and the United States.  Peggy has exhibited in museums in Paris, Geneva, and the United States, and in the United Nations Headquarters in honor of Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
