Xandro Peña - Papaver

Xandro Peña, a Cuban-born artist who currently lives and works in Madrid.

His work is in private collections in the United States, Mexico, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Sweden.

Papaver belongs to a series of works in which I explore contemporary floral composition where organic shapes and overlays build a delicate balance between abstraction and representation. The vibrant palette of oranges, greens and deep blues creates a luminous and dynamic atmosphere, while the transparencies add depth, visual rhythm and a sense of enveloping movement.

Although his artistic practice is primarily oriented toward painting, he maintains a constant relationship with printmaking and digital media, both conceptually and aesthetically. His work investigates color, rhythm and structure, establishing a dialogue with contemporary abstraction and new ways of assimilating painting.

He has undertaken various artistic residencies in Spain and Portugal, experiences that have contributed to expanding his formal research and international reach.
Among his principal references are Sean Scully, Bernard Frize, Brice Marden, Raoul De Keyser, Patricia Treib and Sarah Crowner.
