Alma Peguero, Dominican Visual Artist. Studied at Altos de Chavón School of Design, Dominican Republic, 2007. She received the Charles Bludhorn Scholarship to continue studies at Parsons The New School for Design, in New York City, from where she completed her studies in Fine Arts. 

Currently a 2020 MFA candidate at University at Buffalo, where she also teaches. Alma´s art practice consists in materializing her abstract and unexpected visual thoughts. These visual thoughts emerge mainly from her personal investigation on universal subjects. Her work carries a dialog that is centric to the relationship between being, energy, expansion and transcendance. Philosophical and humanitarian. In her words, the images are proposals to escalate a particular way of experiencing life, given by the symbols used and the way in which the images are composed.
