Work

This section brings together a selection of available pieces, conceived to inhabit spaces outside the studio. I do not view acquisition as a mere commercial act, but as an extension of the artistic dialogue where the collector completes the work’s meaning. Each painting stems from a process that balances emotion and technique, resulting in pieces that retain their own energy and balance. These works are ready to live in a new context without losing their original essence.

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.

Insights

The studio is where everything happens before it has a name; this is where intuition, method, and accident coexist. Insights is a window into my daily practice, fueled by travels, readings, and everyday gestures. I am interested in how an idea emerges through layers of matter and how doubt becomes part of the language. It is a space to observe the slow processes and experiments that show how a work begins to breathe before it is ever exhibited.

About

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.

Art, for me, is a way to order the world without imposing a rigid order. “The object is the necessary element for space to exist”. This premise guides my constant search between matter and void, where each piece attempts to understand and open a space for the viewer to find their own reflection.
