Andrea Salas

Andrea Salas explores the connection that exists between geography and emotions. The atmosphere created by the events that have taken place there and how they relate to the
surrounding landscape. Her approach is multidisciplinary, combining photography and painting; the results are mixed media works in which she manipulates different textures, colors, inks, and scraps of paper. She creates works of art from her photographs while simultaneously contemplating the ways in which changes in her environment have impacted her life. Andrea embraces self-representation into these landscape interventions as a way to connect her present self with her future self. The art of Andrea challenges the audience
to look both inner and outer, to consider how geography, scenery, and climate can influence and modify the emotions of emigrants.

Andrea is born in 1988, Guayaquil, Ecuador. In 2017, Andrea traveled to Madrid, Spain to pursue a degree in Artistic and Documentary Photography. Since 2019, she’s been living in the Netherlands, where she works as a visual artist. She started painting watercolor portraits and landscapes but she has been experimenting with other art forms as well. Her current artwork combines landscape photographs with other mediums to create collages that she defines as imaginary landscapes.
