Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
Andrea Willems’ work explores the mystery of the human experience. Her still life’s, landscapes, and abstract works take on an otherworldly qualities by contrasting thin veils of paint over matte black grounds, with colorful layers and loose brushwork. Her paintings mirror moments within an internal landscape. Forever in flux: highs and lows, peaks and valleys, urban and rural, whether developed or rebuilt, her work reminds us how closely our humanity is tied to our landscape.
