adri badillo (b. 1997) is a puerto rican abstract painter.
her work reflects the beauty and chaos of nature, expressing the duality of her inner landscapes. each piece is a diary entry—of past experiences, future dreams, and the complex emotions tied to mental health, love, loss, spirituality, and purpose.
for adri, painting is a meditative practice. it allows her to step out of cycles of overthinking and reconnect with herself. in moments of anxiety or depression, she paints what she longs to feel, creating art that is hopeful and uplifting, even when she feels anything but. her work is a reminder of possibility, transformation, and resilience.
adri’s ultimate goal is to foster connection through her art. she wants others to see fragments of their own journey in her paintings and to feel understood. her hope is that her work offers comfort, reminds viewers their feelings are valid, and encourages them to hold onto hope.
