Artiste statement :
"Drawing is a natural extension of who I am. Even though it had many different roles in my life’s trajectory, drawing has always been present. I use it to either build intimate spaces in which I could hide, or to destroy walls that don’t give me the freedom to breathe. |
I am fascinated by clean, minimal, simple objects, and by facts that seem to find themselves out of order, out of time. It also seems to me that in a perfectly ordered space, the presence of an unperfected, damaged object, or of a chaotic placement of uneven traces, represents the organic outline of life. I see my world defined by this antithesis. My work finds itself on an edge between these two realities. Control and the intentional loosening of it is what really guides my creative process. Those objects that essentially have the power to dominate, but are also as fragile as a piece of glass, are the objects that define me and that form the structure of my work. I choose materials and themes that incorporate the possibility of these two qualities.
Presently, I am focused on the study of the complexity that surrounds the truthful and direct quality of drawing, the fact that it has nothing but itself to represent the transformation of an idea into an image. Think of the power of a trace that radiates in time and space, akin to how a ballet dancer’s movement disperses once she stops.
That trace tells us an intimate story that only the artist lived. It is, on its own a powerful entity, but it also is the only real document of the moment it stands for.
I am that moment."

De par sa fascination pour les formes épurées, le choix de matériaux aux propriétés antagonistes, Andreea crée des espaces « intimes » (dixit). Le contrôle et le relâchement volontaire la guident. Le corps tout entier y participe.
Précision dans le geste et l’espace investi, détermination, des textures qui s’opposent, la profondeur, des ouvertures… Andrea fait fi de l’espace et des dimensions telles que nous les concevons et fait basculer nos repères.
Elle construit et déconstruit, s’interrompt pour créer une voie nouvelle là où on ne s’y attendait pas. Chez elle, les « accidents » sont de la partie. Son exploration se pose là où se rencontrent imperfection et formes propres, parfaites, épurées.
