B I O - In 2003 I graduated from the University of Applied Science in Hamburg. Since 2008 I’ve been showing my art work. It was enjoyable to show at the “Annual Open House” at The Hangar in Santa Monica and participating in the “Context and Construct” group show at the Lawrence Asher Gallery in L.A. Both very valuable settings, I’d like to return to in 2010.
A R T I S T S T A T E M E N T S – “Art is my mirror.
Art is the science of the self.
Art is a riddle that cannot be solved with the mind but only with the heart.
Art is an attempt to communicate a knowledge that cannot be described with words or logic but grows in the conversation about it.
Art is a guide – a hand offered.
Would you like to take it? ”
– 2008, Andrea Schoening
“My Art communicates on a non-verbal level with people and connects to their core.
It reflects an inner world within all of us – be it confusing, thrilling, desperate, calm, settled, balanced, grounded or caring.
In our modern life which sometimes tends to focus on selected parts only, art is a reminder of how we stand, walk and talk in the world as human beings.
Everyone can take art and build up upon it, draw his own interpretations and assumptions and in this way become a creator himself, an artist you may say. Experiencing art is not a passive act.
People say they are very moved or touched by my art and feel drawn to it.
They observe silently in thoughts or engaged in a conversation about it.
Either way it could be the same painting.
The same painting can have a vitalizing effect on one person and a contemplative on another.
Art can be a catalyst of what ever the observer needs the most to experience all facets of their human existence at the given moment.
I like to talk to people about what they experience when they look at my art, what thoughts come to mind and if they like to share, what they think and feel. The variety of answers is endless, the diversity has no limit. This is the beauty of art and partly why I enjoy it so much.”
