A selection of vibrant paintings by Texas-born, Brooklyn-based artist Anthony Padilla. Highlighting the abstract and surreal qualities of the natural world, Padilla’s work features exaggerated close ups of tropical flora and fauna:

“My main focus is on the wild untamed wilderness because of the chaos and simultaneously the elegance and balance found within the jungle landscape. I hope to inspire curiosity and a sense of familiarity with each painting but above all I hope to remind the viewer of the bizarre immense beauty and novelty of the natural world that we are part of and from which we emerged.”
