About the artist

Born in 1989 in Paris, Andrea ventured to London in 2007, to pursue studies in fine art, and printed textiles at the University of the Arts.

Over the course of 15 years in London, Andrea's creative path flourished as she excelled as an Art Director and set designer, leaving a lasting impact on diverse projects spanning cinema, design, and interiors. In 2018 she rekindled her deep passion for painting, drawing her back to her artistic roots, as her childhood was spent drawing alongside her mother, an artist as well.

Now based in Montreuil, Paris, Andrea embraces her dual British and French identity infusing her artwork with a unique perspective. Andrea’s compositions play with light, texture and movement drawing inspiration from her personal experiences and nature. Vibrant colors and abstract forms are the hallmark of her paintings, conveying emotions and inviting viewers into warm and tranquil worlds.

Andrea Mongenie's artistic process is marked by gestural and instinctive techniques, seeking balance through the interplay of colors and forms. Multiple layers, continuous color mixing, and the inclusion of materials like sand or cement add depth and texture to her works. The result is a visually calming and emotionally charged body of work. Her art serves as a tribute to the complexities of human nature, skillfully bringing together contradiction, chaos, and imperfection to create beauty.
