Andrea Lopez is a self-taught, Colombian-American artist in Vancouver, WA. Originally from Colombia, she discovered her passion for art after an initial career in medicine. Lopez creates vibrant, multi-layered mixed media artworks by intuitively combining collage, acrylics, oil pastels, charcoal, and spray paint into abstract-realist compositions. Her paintings feature subjects like animals, still lifes, barns, figures, and organic shapes enhanced by rich textures and a playful sense of humor inspired by her heritage. Text, fonts, and cultural motifs reflecting Lopez's love of language and travel are often incorporated. Through her joyful, exploratory artistic style, she aims to enrich others' lives with the same wonder that drives her creativity.
