Xandro Peña - Gladiolos

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

Gladiolos is part of a series of works in which I explore the contemporary floral composition where organic, overlapping shapes 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 surrounding sense of 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 completed several artistic residencies in Spain and Portugal, experiences that have contributed to broadening his formal research and international projection.
Among his main references are Sean Scully, Bernard Frize, Brice Marden, Raoul De Keyser, Patricia Treib and Sarah Crowner.

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