It was in 1988 that Pejman decided to return to the art world by opening an art gallery. As a result of his direct exposure to fine art and contact with European masters whom he was representing at the gallery, he decided to start painting again. In 1991 Pejman began his two year formal studies with the world renowned Russian artist, Anatoly Ivanov. Later he attended the prestigious New York Art Students League as well as furthering his studies with the Impressionist master, Ovanes Berberian. In 1995, the artist founded Pejman Editions, an art publishing company that would be dedicated to publishing and distributing hand embellished canvas limited editions of his work. In 1999 Pejman left his corporate career to pursue his art and publishing career on a full time basis. Ivanov influenced Pejman the most by inspiring him to use the techniques of old masters such as Michelangelo and Rafael. Pejman skillfully blends impressionistic colors and techniques to achieve a classical yet contemporary style.
In his works, Pejman creates idyllic, tranquil worlds. "There are no people in my paintings, so you can imagine yourself in the scenes", explains the artist. "The scenes are already romantic, but my idea is to make them even more so". In doing so, he pushes the colors to make them more intense and exaggerates the sunlight. "I don't simplify the shapes. You get into the cracks and feel the structures and the stones", he says, considering them to be marks of cultivated wisdon rather than declination. There is romance i history, and Pejman reminds the view of classic beauty and emotions that transcent time, all inherent to such places as the Mediterranean.
Since his first one-man exhibition in 1993, Pejman has received national and international attention. His works can be found in many prestigous galleries and private collections throughout the world.
