Artist Statement
Aondrea’s paintings are modern interpretations of the Natural world that explore the emotionally evocative power of color and light. Each piece is created to embody the healing powers of the sun, ocean, moon, woods and flora. Inspired by her travels & living in a vibrant city surrounded by forests & sea.
Midst the cacophony of the fast paced lives we live Aondrea’s work gives the viewer a moment to slow down, to breathe; a place of stillness & repose where one can bask in a world beyond word or representation that quietly speaks volumes in serenity, depth & calm as experienced in the presence of Nature; moments that are ever expansive, generous & forever transcendent.
