Hi! I’m Peter Askanazy, a born-and-raised Barcelonian with a passion for bringing shapes, colors, and textures to life. I started out as a graphic designer, working my way up to art and creative director in various studios and agencies. Today, I run my own branding and communication studio, ask2, where I help clients shape the visual identities of their brands, products and services. After many years in Germany, I’m now back in Spain, living and creating in the place I call home.

In my free time, I let loose with my own paintings, inspired by whatever catches my eye in the moment and allowing each piece to evolve naturally. And when I travel, I always bring a sketchpad with me. Sketching the scenes I come across is like taking a snapshot but with more personality—those little details make each sketch a fun and unforgettable memory, so much more unique than a photo!

My paintings tend to grow in their own unique way. I start with a theme in mind, but the artwork often takes on a life of its own, evolving with each stroke. I’m fascinated by contrasts and harmony, and I love the dance between shapes and colors, creating a visual experience that’s both playful and unexpected.

So, come take a look at my work—it’s all about finding beauty in spontaneity, color, and the joy of the creative process. I hope it brings as much joy to you as it does to me!
