A tiny bit about me
Andrea Puscasu Let_her_be_free
Hi! I’m a 19-year-old aspiring artist and a happy adventurer from Finland. I fell in love with painting during corona Spring of 2020. It was an escape but simultaneously a loud voice longing for a change, for a way to make an impact on the world. Today, it is an immense passion and a joy that I am striving from. It gives me energy and nourishes my mind. In art I express fears, wants, and through it I try to spread hope for a better tomorrow’s world.
I graduated from Sibelius Upper Secondary School (music department) in the Spring of 2021 and went to study architecture at Aalto-University. In fine arts I'm mostly self-taught. I have worked hard to be multidisciplinary and will try to stay the same. That’s the way I draw in inspiration, from seeing the many parts this world has to offer.
Fun Facts:
I may or may not have a slight addiction to ice cream...
I burn water when I try to cook...
Details:
I play instruments, dance and paint as if it were my last day alive!
Sometimes I may be even too eager and joyful.
I always give 110% and my worst fear is to fear possibilities.
About my art:
Still, I have no idea who I am, and I love it! I am not defined and I will not let anyone define me.
In my art I use various media mixed together to create something new. It’s my journey of exploration.
Through my art I take a stand in what I believe in. I process topics from climate change to equality and so on. Cozy feelings included! :)
Currently I work from my own room. I have draped the floors with a protective cover and adjusted the lighting.
For now, it gets the job done, other things will come with time. Thank god it’s a spacious room!
Poor mom has to live with an artist. You can only imagine her reactions when I started the transition from my previously charming room to an art cave.
:D
I hope you enjoy my art journey as much as I do!
All yours,
Andrea Puscasu
