Peter Arguimbau

In the words of Geary Gallery proprietor, Tom Geary, "Peter Arguimbau is truly an artist of our generation to watch for in the art world, as it is apparent he is rapidly approaching 'tier one' status."

Born in Darien, CT and a longtime resident of Greenwich, Peter Layne Arguimbau is a nationally-acclaimed, classical-realist painter who has specialized in the Flemish Technique (popular during 1450-1650) for more than 40 years. This technique was developed from years spent recreating the Luminist tradition of the Dutch guilds in the Golden Age of painting.

Arguimbau first learned to paint at age eight when he spent hours watching his father, Vincent Arguimbau, a portrait painter in his studio in Darien, Connecticut. His formal art training included an internship with restorer, Pierro Manonni, and he trained at the Instituto del Restauro in Rome under Cesare Brandi. He also studied for 14 years with Frank Mason at the Art Students League and at Mason's studio in Little Italy in New York City.

Have an Oil Painting that Needs Repair or Cleaning?

Chimney and old cigarette smoke can leave a painting yellowed and dingy and over time dry air can cause cracks in the canvas. If you have an oil painting that's showing wear, bring it to Accent Picture Framing & Restoration and we'll bring it back to its original beauty. Our work is renowned, and projects hang in leading galleries, museums, historical societies and private residences throughout Fairfield County. Click here to learn more.
