Bio
Abstract Worldf Artist Alfonso Peña paints heavy textures with oils on canvas using the primary colors of the earth. His work is influnced by his architectural training and practice.
His compositions tend toward the geometric forms of architecture -squares, circles, etc., but also on more organic and historical forms, including Mayan and other ethnic symbols, and the phases of the moon. His work sometimes includes elements of collage such as fragments of text. He uses primary warm neutral tones with flashes of bright color for punctuation.
Born in Queretaro, Mexico in 1965. He was raised and educated in Monterrey, Mexico, where he studied art and architecture at the University of Nuevo Leon, graduating in 1987.
Prior to establishing his career as an independent artist, Alfonso worked as an architect and taught courses in Color Theory, Aesthetic Appreciation and Interior Design at the Professional Institute of Art and Design, Monterrey.
Alfonso currently resides in Puerto Vallarta, México, and Seattle, Washington.
