On Andreas’ fabric “canvas”, embroidery design, textile manipulation, experimental techniques and unexpected materials come together in the intricate works of a master embroiderer whose creative expression grew out and above craft to become signature art.
His inspiration comes from raw materials: A single paillette, some sponge fresh out of the sea, a tiny industrial piece… When the textile comes in contact with the material, a dialogue starts between the two, embarking him on a composition that almost always defies any preconceived pattern and takes a life of its own, in a process which resembles automatic drawing.
His pieces are all one-of-a-kind; the style of his work, whether that is organic-inspired or pure minimalist, is characterised by a constant inherent quest of elegance and a fascination for the utter beauty of the Aesthetics.
