The artist

About

Marta Pérez-Peñas is a figurative painter from Madrid. After years working for multinational companies, in 2010 she decided to devote herself fully to painting, her true passion.

She began her ongoing artistic training at Taller del Prado with Jorge Pedraza, and since 2010 has studied with painter and teacher Blanca Muñoz de Baena, associated with the School of Figurative Painters of El Escorial. She has also studied drawing, charcoal and watercolour with artists including Mayte Unzurrunzaga and Nono García.

Her work combines acrylic, charcoal, red chalk, Conté crayons and collage. Glazes, transparent layers, impasto and texture create a distinctive and sensitive visual language.
