JP Artride: The Bold World of Javier Peña, Artist of Speed and Color

Originally from Granada and now based in Madrid, Peña began his creative journey far from galleries or studios — working as a construction laborer and painting in his spare time. Over more than 13 years, he developed a unique style rooted in passion for automotive design, color theory, and urban culture. His signature works — often large-scale canvases — depict legendary race cars, motorcycles, and cultural icons with an explosive use of color and dynamic composition.

Peña’s distinctive vision has led to collaborations with major brands such as BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes-AMG, and his artwork has found collectors in Europe, the United States, Australia, and Brazil. His pieces appeal to a wide audience, from motorsport enthusiasts and designers to contemporary art collectors.

Through his online gallery JP Artride, Peña offers:

• Original acrylic paintings on canvas, each signed and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity


• Limited-edition prints, produced in Madrid in short runs and available on fine art paper or canvas


• Commissioned works, tailored to individual clients and collectors

Beyond cars and bikes, Peña’s work frequently references figures like Frida Kahlo, Ayrton Senna, and historic moments in design and racing, blending nostalgia with modern flair.
