A B O U T M E

Hola! I’m Luzda Padilla, a Latina artist infusing life with color and joy. Through my art, I explore the depths of the soul, aiming to reconnect with that inner spark—like a “happy bean” that resides within all of us. Each piece I create is a celebration of authenticity, imperfection, and the vibrant journey of self-discovery.

My creative process is a playful dance with various mediums—oils, acrylics, mixed media, papier-mâché, LEDs and reused and recycle materials—embracing the messy and the magical makes me feel free.

If you’re seeking art that resonates with your soul and adds a splash of joy to your space, welcome to Made to Funky!
