  • Padilla captures the beauty and complexity of nature, blending abstraction, surrealism, and realism. His richly coloured works transport viewers into lush, exotic landscapes filled detail.

    Anthony Padilla is a self-taught contemporary painter known for his vibrant oil paintings of tropical jungles and forests. Drawing inspiration from artists like Georgia O'Keeffe and Henri Rousseau, Padilla captures the beauty and complexity of nature, blending abstraction, surrealism, and realism. His richly coloured works transport viewers into lush, exotic landscapes filled with detailed figures and shapes. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Padilla now lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, where he continues to develop his signature style.

     

    Padilla’s creative process is intuitive and fluid, often beginning with simple sketches that evolve into complex compositions. He aims to immerse viewers in nature’s beauty, inviting them to experience moments of peace and clarity through his art. His work reflects his passion for the environment, often addressing themes like global warming and our connection to nature.
