Walking the Pueblo Way, Artistically Speaking:

Southwestern Pueblo Lifestyle Comes Naturally for New Mexican Artist from San Felipe Pueblo.

Take your shoes off and come on in! You are entering the Pueblo world of Padilla of San Felipe. Award winning, innovative risk-taker, and rooted in spirituality, Fernando Padilla, Jr. is enrolled with the San Felipe Pueblo tribe (thanks Dad) in north central New Mexico. His Native American heritage also includes the Navajo tribe with just a smidgeon of Apache (thanks Mom). In any case Fernando is proud to be who he is and wouldn’t trade places with anyone. He has taken the Pueblo ideals into the non-Indian world and both have mutually benefited.

Rendering More Than One Style of Art Genre With One Palette:

“Multi-faceted and Multi-dimensional is the Only Way to Go”, says Padilla.

These images and representational artworks shown in this website are original ideas, concepts, and productions of the artist Fernando Padilla, Jr. who retains copyrights to every one of these images and more not seen here, up until fifty years after he has hung up his brushes and no longer occupies his aged Pueblo “outfit”. This multi-talented artist employs techniques, methods, and applications that best suits an images’ rendition; drawings, paintings, mixed media assemblages, mosaics, print making, and sculptures from the myriad of materials available grace the repertoire of Fernando’s art-folio.
