Andrea Ehret

Andrea Ehret is Slovak artist and performer and she lives and works in Prague, Czech Republic.

Her other-worldly paintings draw on her studies of Visual Art at University in Slovakia, and art therapy practice, using intuition, expression and gesture as tools for self-transformation.

As in the practice of meditation wherein the student’s intention is to achieve a state of mental equilibrium, each of Ehret’s paintings produce a flow of what she perceives as an energetic light and more reflective shade, to create a compositionally balanced, harmonious whole.

In this way Ehret considers the act of painting to be a healing process.

​Her intuitive approach is influenced by Eastern philosophy. She considers each painting an expression of an inner world – a meditative process in which the paint is layered with her own internal charges, depicting emotions. Sometimes conflicting, these emotions coalesce in painterly abstract expressive dreamscapes with the chromatic variation of raw uncut gems, where the paint is spontaneously and expressively applied.

As Ehret herself has said of her painting “There is this a longing for dream-like experience, where everything is possible.”
