Angel de la Peñas painting obeys to a constructed process, in the pursuit of precision and with outstanding mixed techniques. His work is sober and elegant, seductive and integrating, and it places his creator among the first names within the last generation of painters who have embraced informalism.
His style is composed of a distinguished technique, neatness and mystery. The backgrounds on which both oil and acrylic are mixed, attaining a bed of serenity that gathers a clear image of the depth of his conceptual virtuality.
His painting show a certain pictorial pureness as well as a balance in its shapes and composition. from minimal and essential modulations. The visual intensity of his paintings emerge from a meditated development, which assigns to each element its most adequate position.
