Hi I’m Andrea, and I’m so glad you’re here!
My preferred style is loose and spontaneous, but with an eye for the essentials. This is how I give my creatures character and a certain sense of humor. My sketchbook is my happy place, and paints and brushes are my preferred tools.
If required, I transfer my analogue sketches into Procreate or Photoshop, where I further process them digitally. It is important to me that they remain true to their authentic and “handmade” appearance which is why I make the corresponding brushes, backgrounds and textures myself, thereby making second use of the “happy accidents” of my sketchbooks. I can hardly wait to bring your ideas and concepts to life!
Vision
When I sketch or paint, I usually relax my thinking mind and work from a place of childlike innocence and joy. Initially I allow myself to be led by intuition only, always paying close attention to the negative space, from which I then start defining shape and color until the image gradually emerges and feels complete to me.
Mission
Whatever I create, I never try to mimic reality. My intention instead is to capture the “spirit” of what caught my attention in the first place, and finding ways to express that by accumulating paint and lines, inspiring the viewer to interact by filling the gaps with their own interpretation of what they observe and feel.
