About the Artist
Born in Hungary, Andrea (Andi) studied the History of Art and the technique of painting at the Art Academy in Budapest. She experimented with different techniques and media, and never limited herself to only one mode of expression. She has traveled around the world capturing the energy and life that has touched her. Always striving follow her heart, Andi tries to be honest to herself and others. She believes that good and beauty is everywhere and in everyone.
She spent a year living on and island in the Caribbean, where she evolved her art into mixed media applying natural fibers and shells to her oil on canvas creations. Moving to the USA, first to Carbondale, Illinois for a short time, she searched for new way of expression. There were beautiful flowers, and she felt a desire to capture their inner beauty. She then spent a year spent in St. Paul, Minnesota, exploring new things, meeting new friends, and developing a new style.
Carbondale always had a warm, cozy impression on Andi, and after a year living in Minnesota, she decided to return there and continue her journey of life and creation. She never stops and continuously challenges herself to create new innovations, media and techniques.
While trying to find herself in this very new place, this country that becomes her new home, she continually searches for peace and happiness inside herself. “Pieces of Meditation” help her to find her way through it. With a graphic designer she created “Oceanica I” and “Oceanica II.” These represent the force of feminine energy, and another way of self-expression. Most recently she has created “Born from the Light” and “The Angel of light.”
“Every action carries with it a specific energy and force. This energy and force can be captured in the moment, in art, and relived again and again. Optimism and Simplicity are the energies I strive to cultivate and capture in my work.”
