Hola,
I’m José Sánchez Peinado and this isn’t the website of just another artist.
People often stop me when they see me painting and ask if I do this for a living.
Of course I do, bro. This is my job. A hobby? Not even close.
Here’s something for you: a FREE guide with the exact watercolour materials I wish I had when I first started. Straight to your inbox. GRATIS
I don’t remember when I first started painting. I was never one of those kids with a “natural talent.”
But I do remember the exact moment when I couldn’t be anything else.
I was running with a spray can before I even knew the word “career.”
In 2010, I fell in love with painting: heart racing, hands shaking, jumping fences with security on my tail.
Graffiti was my first teacher:
Paint fast. Trust your gut. Disappear before they catch you.
That energy never left me.
Later, I studied Fine Arts.
But the truth is, I learned to paint on the streets:
speed-painting competitions, new cities every week, massive canvases, no time, no mercy.
I lost far more competitions than I won.
And yes, I got humiliated more than once with commissions where people tried to pay me twenty euros.
Still, I couldn’t stop.
Today I live in London. I paint moving water, urban scenes, and landscapes born from life itself: Hampstead, the Thames, the city I breathe every day.
I’ve been here for many years now, sometimes I even feel more Londoner than Spanish.
My paintings aren’t decoration.
They stay with you. They’re a lifetime investment.
You move with them, you live with them, and one day, someone you love might inherit them.
A painting doesn’t switch off like a phone battery. It lives with you.
And one day, it will still be there when you’re not.
Today my paintings hang in London homes, and my work keeps growing through workshops and private collections.
The best paintings? They go to my emails, my friend.
That’s also where I announce workshops and exclusive events.
What you see on social media always comes later.
