About Abril
In a world that rushes past in blinks and busy schedules, there are rare souls who bring us back to ourselves—who help us feel, wonder, and remember magic. Abril Andrade is one of those souls.
With each brushstroke, Abril creates not just art, but worlds—strange, beautiful worlds filled with wide-eyed beings, whispering trees, and blossoms born from dreamlight. There is whimsy here, yes—but also a delicious shadow. Her work dances between light and dark, innocence and mystery, sweetness and a surreal touch of the macabre.
A true daughter of tradition and imagination, Abril has a deep love for painting intense, hauntingly beautiful Day of the Dead skeletons—celebrations of life and memory in vibrant, evocative color. Her pieces capture that sacred balance between the living and the gone, the joyful and the solemn, wrapped in her signature style: raw, emotional, and unmistakably hers.
“Art sweeps away the dust of the soul,” said Picasso—and for Abril, these words ring like a heartbeat. Art is not just her calling; it is her catharsis, her joy, her strength. A proud single mother and a relentless fighter, Abril has poured every ounce of her spirit into her craft. Through triumphs and trials, she has held onto her brush like a lifeline, letting it guide her through and out of darkness.
Her love isn’t just reserved for the canvas. Abril is a devoted animal lover, with a heart as soft as it is strong. Whether she’s nurturing her child, rescuing animals, or breathing life into her fantastical characters, love is the thread that binds everything she touches.
Today, Abril Andrade’s work lives in hearts and homes around the world—tattoo shops, boutique windows, cozy galleries, and treasured private collections. She’s been celebrated in the pages of major magazines, but her truest legacy is this: she invites us all to dream a little deeper, feel a little more, and believe that even in the darkest places, something beautiful can grow.
Because when Abril paints, magic happens—and the soul remembers how to fly.
