Rigo Peralta

Rigo Peralta brings a distinct visual sensitivity and cultural rigor to art collecting, informed by his celebrated career as a Dominican-born painter, printmaker, and master of “conditioned surrealism”. With an eye honed through decades of artistic practice—spanning formal training at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Santiago and the Art Students League of New York—Peralta approaches his private collection with a deep appreciation for technique, narrative, and cultural memory. His personal holdings reflect a passionate commitment to elevating Caribbean, Afro-Latinx, and diaspora voices, prioritizing works that bridge ancestral roots, human identity, and vibrant visual expression. As both a respected creator and dedicated patron, Peralta’s curatorial choices champion artistic integrity and champion the ongoing evolution of the contemporary Latin American and Afro-Caribbean art canons.
