Maxmillian Peralta is a painter from Cleveland, Ohio. In his most recent artwork, he alludes to an atmosphere of tension, insecurity, and fear experienced personally, but also collectively by his generation. The artwork takes the form of highly exacting acrylic renderings of spaces, both tense domestic spaces and impossible exterior spaces.

Peralta received his bachelor of fine art in painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2021. In 2022, Massillon Museum selected him as a Collective Artist Network Triennial award exhibition winner. Peralta’s honors include a National American Visions Medal and the Anne Gund President’s Traveling Scholarship. Peralta was also commissioned by LeBron James to paint the cover of the inaugural issue of his magazine, The Program, in 2022. Peralta currently resides and works in Cleveland.

His Studio M exhibition Flat Affect is on display through August 3, 2025
