ANTHONY T. PEÑA, from Omaha, Nebraska, graduated from Omaha North High School and studied fine arts at University of Nebraska at Omaha. Pena’s color palette varies depending on the subject matter. He’s a Contemporary Pop Artist with an urban feel. A majority of his art centers around the American flag and the African-American. experience, manipulating the red, white and blue throughout his work to tell a story and deliver a message.

I am a self taught artist, I love drawing people, doing illustrations and logos. I love using all types of mediums, especially digital technology. My drawing called “HOPE”, which went viral, was turned into a mural. I was also one of the 17 artists selected for the Omaha by Design Art+ infrastructure Metro ORBT utility box murals project which also won an OEAA award for Outstanding Public Art. My latest projects are a veterans wall mural for Metro Area Transit and a Omaha summer arts festival mural cube dedicated to Ukraine. I did a collab mural named “Peace” with Artist Patty Talbert a project by Omaha By Design and arts+ infrastructure which won an award for best outstanding public art.
