May She Take Us Painting

Andrea Garcia, most commonly known as ANFREA, is a 21-year-old Mexico-born artist working and residing in Houston TX. Her acrylic paintings captivate viewers with her use of color & reflection of the mystical animals of Mexican folk art known as Alebrejies. Cartoneria (Papier-mâché) is a common technique implemented in her acrylic paintings. As well as an element of ultraviolent. Artist statement: I use painting as a way to express all the discombobulated thoughts that jumble up together like cords in my mind. I have always found it easier to express my emotions through colors. The more colors on a canvas the better it makes me feel. There is no greater gratification to me than small detail paint stokes. Each small paint stroke is a transition of energy from my thoughts to the canvas.
