About the artist

Born in historic West Berlin in 1972, Andrea Emde grew up in Bremen, Germany, where her early connection with nature, nurtured by her parents, deeply influenced her artistic path. This deep connection to the natural world has been a major source of inspiration, infusing her artwork with a strong sense of environmental connection.

 

Andrea Emde, when she was twenty-six, sought new artistic opportunities and moved from Germany to the Netherlands. This movement marked the beginning of an intense phase of artistic growth. Immersed in the vibrant art scene of the Netherlands, Andrea has now dedicated more than 25 years to perfecting her craft. She participated in a wide range of art courses and workshops in various studios, which greatly enriched her technical skills and deepened her artistic expression.

 

Andrea's extensive period of artistic exploration and learning in the Netherlands has brought significant depth and nuance to her work, allowing her to evolve as an artist and contribute significantly to the contemporary art landscape.​
