Lara Padilla

Madrid - 1988

Lara Padilla’s work encompasses disciplines such as painting, sculpture, dance, performance, and fashion design. Her works, predominantly figurative, draw attention to the power of female representation through the distortion of the body and the use of color and texture. It is a statement of gender advocacy expressed through oversized hands as powerful instruments of struggle or heavy feet as symbols of women’s perseverance in their fight. Lara understands art not as a silent showcase, but as a path of action and political intervention. Her aesthetic is an ode to diversity, portraying all kinds of bodies in order to promote a vision of equality and authenticity.
