about me
Felipe Peña is an abstract painter whose work unfolds as a visual investigation into energy, matter, and space. His pictorial language goes beyond aesthetics; it functions as a plastic laboratory where every stroke, texture, and composition aims to reveal the invisible structures: vibration, the density of silence, the presence of suspended time. Far from representation, Felipe paints to reveal.
His artistic practice is rooted in a constantly evolving mixed technique. He works with acrylic, oil, pure pigments, plaster, spray, and paper, applying them with spatulas, brushes, hands, and unconventional tools. This results in living surfaces, charged with material tensions and spatial resonance. His paintings are built layer by layer, like organisms that grow and transform until they reach a balance between chaos and restraint.
In his work, color becomes an act of energy. His compositions vibrate with intense, bold tones that don’t aim to please, but to activate. Each piece is a visual field, inviting the viewer to pause and feel. Color, form, and texture don’t explain—they propose a direct, immediate experience.
Beyond technique, his research revolves around a constant question: What happens when we let go of personal narrative and simply are? His works inhabit that place without story, without conditioned emotion, without past or future. Only the present, as a visual phenomenon.
At this moment, Felipe is in a phase of creative reinvention, seeking a state of emotional freedom where painting becomes not only expression but also a form of active meditation. His work does not aim to provide answers, but to raise questions that are felt and breathed. To paint, for him, is a way to be in the world with more intensity and less weight.
