Adrían

Peña

Adrián Peña (b. 1982, Edmonton, Canada) is a Spanish artist based in Cádiz, Spain. He studied Graphic Design at the University of Barcelona.

His ongoing project, LINK, brings together two found photographic fragments, each measuring 5 × 5 cm. Working with images from vintage magazines, Peña explores how a small shift in context can change the way an image is seen. Familiar gestures, objects and situations become intimate, ambiguous or slightly unsettling through their encounter.

His process involves collecting, cutting, arranging and returning to images over time, allowing connections to emerge without a predetermined narrative. The small scale invites close attention, while the relationship between the fragments remains open to interpretation.

Peña is represented by Grège Gallery.
