The son of Italian immigrants, Peter Chinni was born in 1928. His artistic journey began at the Art Students League, followed by studies in Rome at the Accademia di Belle Arti and with Cubist sculptor Roberto Melli.
After military service in postwar Germany Chinni set up studio in Manhattan, where his focus shifted from painting to sculpture. From here Chinni embarked on his long career in which he sought, through abstraction, the vital essence of three-dimensional forms.
