José María Peña was born and lives in Seville, Spain. He earned his Fine Arts degree in Conservation and Restoration from the University of Seville. His background as an art restorer has allowed him to have a deep knowledge of the painting materials and of the techniques adopted by the great Masters. “My passion is to tell stories through a look, a gesture or a scene and, most of all, the constant search for beauty.” J.M.P. has exhibited his works in Spain, Italy, Portugal, United States and Japan. One of his painting belongs to the permanent collection of the European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM) in Barcelona.
NIGHT & DAY

In his canvases, For his first Australian exhibition , Peña confronts nature and modern city life, always paying attention to the fleeting effect of light with a perspective of elegant depurated realism.
