Panamanian art critic and historian currently residing in Prague, whose perspective is deeply informed by his transatlantic position between Latin American and European cultural contexts. His critical practice interrogates the intersections of spatial theory, post-colonial discourse, and the phenomenological experience of art. Peña's writing examines how built environments inscribe themselves upon the psyche, offering a unique, diasporic lens on global art movements and the geopolitics of aesthetic representation.
