About Me

see ArtofPerego.com for the entite portfolio-PEREGO “arrived on the planet” on the 24th day of October in 1967. A triple Scorpio, the stars lending their unanimous opinion to a being determined and forceful, emotional and intuitive, powerful and passionate, exciting and magnetic. Also, gifted with a then unknown artistic family legacy (he would discover at age 28), he immediately showed talent in art, theater and music and seemed destined for creativity at an early age. After a brief stint in the Joe Kubert School, Perego (now 19) dropped out and enrolled in the school of life, embarking on a career as a freelance commercial artist with a repertoire of screen printing, sign writing, airbrush, portraiture and large scale murals. Arriving in Philadelphia in 1990, Perego saturated the hip and funky South Street area with his unique blend of urban expression style and inspirational energy. Night clubs, coffeehouses, and restaurants all had murals and storefronts by Perego. Among them was Makos retired-surfers Bar & Grill, (now a legendary South Street cornerstone), Imagine, Govindas, Tiajuana Yacht club, the Borgia café, Haagendaaz on South, John’s Café, to name a few. After bouncing up & down the east coast and settling into the Daytona Beach area in 1992, Perego soon began applying his talents, and expanding into interior design in the beachside locale. As a designer, artist and activist throughout central Florida, Perego was sought as Art Director for Eros Corp. a local entertainment developer Scenic City (Deland), a group he led in painting of the massive AT&T world globe (Times Square). Other projects included the 25th Anniversary signage for Walt Disney World (Orlando) Barney's Coffee (Celebration), and the 13,000 sq ft trompe l'oeil outdoor mural adorning ABC Carpet and Home (Boca Raton).Theatrical Designer for A.P.A. Studios, a New York-based animation studio.The signature piece of the Volusia County Courthouse and Pioneer Park, the nationally-acclaimed, award-winning historic mural both in the city of Deland, Fl., and the "largest" Harley Motorcycle dealer in the world- Bruce Rossmeyer's Harley Davidson of Daytona, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano and Sunrise also carry Perego's signature. The T.D. Waterhouse (Orlando) and the Office Depot Center (Sunrise, Fl.) also now exhibit his work. As Art Director for Walt Disney World Entertainment. Perego's vision helped launch the 1998 Disney Cruise Line Inaugural Event (Cape Canaveral), the Animal Kingdom Press Event and the Premier Party for Cirque du Soliel (Downtown Disney, Orlando). In television, his work can be seen on Univision, BET, as well as on the local PBS.Perego’s Fine Art is a private experience. Inspired by classical, modern, pop and abstract art and equipped with an extraordinary ability to use diverse techniques and styles as if they were also colors on his palette, you never know what to expect. Perego's subjects range from mythical and prophetic, to often surrealist in nature and his images demand close inspection to reveal the esoteric messages within. Perego now works coast -to-coast, for the leading Art and Entertainment industries and is loving every minute of it. His "home base" is in Ormond Beach, Florida with his three wonderful and bright children, Marcella, Thoren, and Phoenix.
