Andrea Arenas is a Spanish Artist, singer and musician. Her first approach to arts and painting was at 9 years old when she expressed her desire to do oil paintings. However, after a few months’ music came to her life to and took the center stage and it was in her adulthood that she decided to comeback to painting, falling in love with watercolor this time.
She started to learn the technique with the American artist Harold Bradford in 2017, and she has been developing it since then. She graduated in Electronic Engineering, and developed her career as a sound engineer. When she started painting with watercolors, portraits were the first thing she instinctively wanted to do, mainly from photographs of unknown and peculiar people.
“Painting strangers makes it easier until you realize it can help you to connect with people” says Andrea. Hence the artist says she started using family portraits and friends’ pictures as inspiration to paint. “Recreating memories through paintings are magical and indescribable moments for me” says Andrea.
Andrea tries to depict the emotions she feels through paintings and describes the people related to her in a very gentle yet impactful manner.
