Exhibitions

Each exhibition is a form of pause — a space where works stop belonging to the studio and begin to dialogue with one another, with the place, and with whoever looks at them. I don’t see a show as an ending but as the visible part of a process that remains alive.

In every project I seek a relation between matter and presence: how a surface, a colour, or a vibration can hold stillness and movement at once. Exhibitions are territories of resonance, not of explanation. The work is not described, it is experienced.

I aim to create atmospheres that allow people to look slowly, without urgency — spaces where each visitor can find their own rhythm. Sometimes pieces arise from observing the environment —a street, a window, a landscape— other times from something internal: an emotion, a memory that becomes material without plan. To exhibit is to open that intimacy to others, to let the viewer complete the work with their gaze.

Work

The studio is where everything happens before it has a name. Here, intuition, method, and accident coexist. Ideas are tested, erased, recovered, and transformed. It’s a place of observation more than control.

My practice draws from travel, conversation, reading, and daily gestures. What begins as a note or colour often becomes a question about form, energy, or time. I’m not chasing results but sustaining the search itself.

I’m drawn to how an idea emerges through layers of matter, how doubt becomes part of the language. I work with slow processes, where each decision leaves a trace and chance has a place. This section gathers current projects, studies, and experiments that show how a work starts to breathe before being exhibited.

Acquire

To acquire a work is to meet — not only with an object, but with the energy and time that created it. Each piece comes from a moment of attention, from a process that balances emotion, technique, and thought.

I don’t see acquisition as a commercial act, but as a natural extension of artistic dialogue. Collectors participate in the process; their gaze continues what began in the studio. For that reason, I like to accompany each acquisition with context and meaning: how the work was born, what sustains it, what makes it unique.

The works available here are not random selections. They are pieces that, by their origin or balance, can live outside the studio without losing sense. Some are recent, others belong to larger series. Everything here is conceived so that acquiring art becomes a gesture of connection and care.

About Me

I am Felipe Peña. Painting is my main language, but it doesn’t define me completely. I am also an observer, reader, traveller, and curious person. I’m interested in light and materials, in psychology and rhythm — in how things behave and how people perceive them.

My background is diverse: art, design, management, technology. I’ve worked in very different contexts — companies, creative projects, shared spaces — and from each I’ve taken something: the need to unite thought and sensitivity. Art, for me, is a way to order the world without imposing order on it.

When I’m not painting, I’m still observing. I take notes, I walk, I talk, I think. Ideas come from travel, from reading, from experience — or simply from being still. Painting is not about explaining; it’s about understanding and opening space for others to find their own reflection.
