WHO IS ANDREA, AND WHY PIXELS
GENERAL INTRO
Hey, I’m Andrea (Ahn-dray-uh / An-drrrei-a), an artist and creative born in Brasil and based in the northeast.
I am driven by curiosity, innovation, and a strong sense of purpose and values.
As an artist, I am passionate about creating and documenting moments, thoughts, and experiences that encourage intentional presence and introspection while challenging existing beliefs.
While I began my journey with any medium of expression that I could get my hands on, I was invited as a designer to step into the world of pixels, which opened my mind to the endless possibilities of making images.
I am enamored by the process of using my hands to make, while appreciating the limitless capabilities of pixel-based art.
INSPIRED BY
