‘I do not paint people as they appear, I paint people as they feel’
Andrea studied at the University of Salzburg and spent extended periods studying abroad in Bordeaux, France, and Perugia, Italy. As a language teacher and German-as-a-foreign-language trainer, the intensive observation of non-verbal communication helped sharpen her eyes to study facial expression and gesture – elements that flow directly into her paintings.
The oeuvre comprises more than one hundred works, we feature 12. The artistic development ranges from colour-intensive, ornamental and more abstract compositions to recent works with increasing realistic precision. The constant elements are the human being, the gaze and the search for emotional truth. Children, couples, musicians, dancers and different human characters appear as varied expressions of the same search for presence and encounter.
“The essence in the gaze – encounters beyond words.”
This collection is the first four of the twelve we are offering as custom made notebooks and journals. The notebooks and journals are made specifically for writers and artists to use, in the hope they will find inspiration from these paintings in their own work. We use a higher gsm smooth white writing paper for writers and artist’s watercolour paper typically Bockingford 300gsm. All papers for writers can be made as blank, dot grid or lined. Artist’s papers can choose from smooth, straight edge to a handmade ragged edge for a more organic feel to the paper.
