Andrea Evangelou

As a person I like melodrama, quietness, simplicity and I’m drawn into dramatic poses and the endless aesthetic of the human body’s materiality. My primary focus is figurative painting, choosing poses and faces that want to express something beyond mild emotions.Preferring to establish my work within a context of abstraction, I immerse myself in the process of discovering what oil paint, acrylic paint and spray paint is capable of, how it can reflect textures and the illusion it has the ability to create. When it’s time for me to let down my brushes and look back at the artwork I want the viewers satisfaction to be carried on to me, and the curiosity that created each painting to be carried off to them.
