Born in Puerto Plata, Paiewonsky graduated in 1991 from the Altos de Chavón School of Design in La Romana. The following year she held her first solo exhibition at the Art Nouveau Gallery. She then traveled to New York City, where she lived and worked for a decade, studying at Parsons The New School for Design. After returning to the Dominican Republic she settled in Santo Domingo. [1]
Stylistically, Paiewonsky produces art across a range of disciplines and media, including painting, sculpture, and photography. [2] She has exhibited work in many venues both in the Dominican Republic and abroad, in solo and group shows, [3] and has been included in the National Visual Arts Biennial of Santo Domingo on multiple occasions. She received the Gran Premio Eduardo León award for her work in 2006, 2008, and 2012. Among the collections featuring her work are the Daros-Latinoamérica, Zürich; the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Rhode Island; Museum of Modern Art, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; and the Centro León, Santiago, Dominican Republic. [4] She is also a co-founder of the art collective Quintipata, which includes Pascal Meccariello, Jorge Pineda, and Belkis Ramírez in its ranks. [5] Paiewonsky had an exhibition of her mixed media work on breasts at the UMD Gallery in 2019. [6]
Paiewonsky described how her work inquired into how changing cultural structures and stereotypes impacted human bodies and capacities for being. [2]
Trained as a vegetarian chef as well as an artist, she is married with two sons. With her sister she owns a number of businesses in the Dominican Republic. [7]

Darío Antonio Suro García-Godoy was a Dominican painter, art critic, and diplomat from La Vega, Dominican Republic, remembered as one of the most influential Dominican artists from the 20th century. Suro's paintings encompassed a wide range of styles from the impressionist mood of his early paintings, to the neo-realism of his maturity, and finally to the abstraction of his later works. Together with his contemporaries Yoryi Morel, Jaime Colson, and Celeste Woss y Gil, he is known as one of the progenitors of modernist art in the Dominican Republic.
Celeste Agustina Woss y Gil was a Dominican painter, educator, and feminist activist, remembered as one of the most influential Dominican artists from the 20th century. Born in Santo Domingo and daughter to former president Alejandro Woss y Gil, she was 12 years old when her family left the country in exile after her father's second presidential term ended in 1903.

Tito Enrique Canepa Jiménez was a leading Dominican painter of the generation that came of age in the 1930s and 1940s. Canepa's artistic identity was shaped in New York City, where he lived from the age of 21, never returning to stay in his native country. Despite this distance, or perhaps because of it, as León David has pointed out, his works always evince a certain dominicanidad without his setting out to achieve it as a goal — a dominicanidad that is never folkloric. Of the three modernist Dominican painters of the 1930s and 40s singled out by Rafael Díaz Niese as most significant — Canepa, Colson and Suro — Canepa is the one whose artistic activity developed in the most continuous absence from his native country, and the one longest resident in New York. Cánepa is accented in Spanish but not in the original Ligurian.
