alvaro penalty Álvaro Peñalta brings his Barcelona-flavoured retro-futuristic images to Papirmass next month. We love his unusual combination of vector shapes. His highly stylized, technicolor installations are carefully made by hand and then photographed in studio. As a lover of neon lights, the 1980’s, and Pink Panther, Peñalta consistently produces retro-futuristic images that channel a unique blend of Pop Art, nostalgia, and the synthetic.
