About

Hi, I’m Diego Peña, a visual arts professional based in Barcelona with a degree in Visual Arts (IENBA-UDELAR). I’ve spent the last five years freelancing as a colorist and working on feature films, short films, commercials, and music videos across the US, UK, Brazil, and Uruguay.

I collaborate with directors and editors to craft expressive color palettes and maintain a strong storytelling through restoration and color correction. My experience spans Moonlight Cinema, Movicorp, SkillShare, ACCION FILMS, InsideOut, and numerous freelance projects.
