Discover the Vibrant Works of Peter Flaccus at Maja Arte Contemporanea
The art world is abuzz with the latest exhibition at Maja Arte Contemporanea, featuring the stunning works of Rome-based American abstract artist Peter Flaccus. The exhibition, titled “September Song,” runs from November 13th to January 10th, 2026, and showcases Flaccus’s unique approach to abstract art. As an artist with decades of experience, Flaccus has honed his craft, and his paintings are a testament to his skill and creativity.
Flaccus’s use of encaustic, an ancient technique that combines pigments with molten wax, gives his works a distinctive texture and depth. As he explains, “In my view, a painting is a kind of natural phenomenon, like a tree that has no need of theory to stand tall and let its branches sway in the wind.” This approach has resulted in pieces that exude a sense of organic balance between matter and light. According to art critic Marco Di Capua, Flaccus’s paintings “seem to breathe,” a testament to the artist’s ability to create works that are both visually striking and emotionally resonant.

Peter Flaccus has lived in Rome for several decades and is Professor Emeritus of Studio Art at John Cabot University, Rome. His extensive experience and expertise in the field of abstract art have earned him a reputation as a master of his craft. Flaccus’s work is characterized by its use of bold colors and textures, which create a sense of energy and movement. As noted by Di Capua, Flaccus’s paintings are not just visually striking but also emotionally resonant, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the world of the artist.
