Biography

Arturo Padilla is a Western artist originally from Juchipila, Zacatecas, Mexico. He started painting at age 10, inspired by the ranch life and open landscapes he grew up around. After moving to Los Angeles at 17, he refined my craft with guidance from artists like Lalo Garcia, Frank Martinez, and his mentor, Mark Maggiori.

Padilla’s work focuses on capturing the spirit of the American West with realism, tradition, and cultural depth.
