BODOart - About me

Andrea has a University degree in Behavioral Sciences; and she is a productive artist, in addition to her work as a corporate coach. She has studied sewing and fashion drawing at Tillskärarakademin, and sculpture at Folkuniversitetet. In addition, she has also done model studies and life drawings at Alfredo Mosella’s private studio in Gothenburg.  

Motiv

I am passionate about fashion, and having a background as a personal shopper/stylist, the step to fashion illustrations was a short one. For me, it is a new form of expression. My goal is to catch the movement of the moment. My subjects come from fashion magazines and street fashion. Women are the motif of my work, and my inspiration; and I want to explore how their selfimage is affected by the clothes they wear.

Style

“The pictures range from clean and simple sketches in black on white background, via paintings with small, well-placed color accents, to explosions of color in flaming red.”
