Patricia Iglesias Peco

Patricia Iglesias Peco's (b. 1974, Buenos Aires, Argentina) practice is tuned into the vibrancy of the natural world, imagining rambunctious gardens of flora and fauna rendered in oil paint—vegetal bodies caught in whirling gestures of bloom and decay, a choreography of endless beginnings. A playful undulating tension pervades Iglesias Peco’s strange compositions, which appear simultaneously grotesque and beautiful, repulsive and alluring. Flowers appear as more than familiar metaphors but vessels for the artist to exercise her formal interest in painting and color theory.

Iglesias Peco holds a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design and the School of Visual Arts in New York. She has participated in several solo and group shows including the Santa Barbara Museum of Art; François Ghebaly, Los Angeles and New York; James Cohan, New York; Gladstone Gallery, New York; Del Vaz Projects, Los Angeles; La Loma Projects, Los Angeles. Iglesias Peco lives and works in Los Angeles, California. In 2026, she will be included in a group exhibition at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum.
