About Us

Funky Pumpkins is a creative spin-off of Artistry for Spaces, founded and led by husband-and-wife team Altin and Nicole Rizi. Originally based in New York and now proudly calling Curaçao home, we bring large-scale artistry, custom commissions, and imaginative designs to clients across the Caribbean, Europe, and Canada.

Altin is a lifelong artist and sculptor whose work has been recognized internationally in Albania, Athens, Milan, Paris, and New York. His portfolio spans everything from award-winning paintings, to hand-crafted foam sculptures for attractions like the Minoan Mythological Amusement Park in Crete, Greece, to custom woodwork for restaurants and bars, to expansive murals for both commercial and residential spaces.

Nicole manages the operations, projects, and client experience behind Funky Pumpkins, ensuring every commission runs smoothly from concept to completion. With a background in strategy, events, and creative project management, she bridges the artistic vision with the practical details that bring each piece to life—whether it’s a one-of-a-kind commission or a large-scale installation.

Through Artistry for Spaces, we continue to design custom art for interiors and exteriors of all sizes—private homes and apartments, restaurants and offices, hotels, churches, and even theme parks. Funky Pumpkins is our playful, seasonal extension, bringing the same artistry and craftsmanship into imaginative jack-o-lanterns and event pieces that leave a lasting impression.
