Andrea Ehret

Andrea Ehret | Born 1978 in Slovakia and now lives and works in Prague, Czech Republic. Andrea Ehret is an award winning contemporary abstract artist. She exhibits in America and widely throughout Europe, and was awarded one of the winners of The Global Art Awards Tokyo 2021 and The Red Dot Miami Award (2020) in the Abstract Art Category. Her other-worldly paintings draw on her studies of Visual Art at University in Slovakia, and art her 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 many 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.” Her work is included in private collections throughout Europe, as well as in Canada, China, South Korea, UAE, UK, Russia, India, USA, Australia and New Zealand. Her work has been shown in 24 solo shows all around the world, duo exhibitions and collective shows. Andrea Ehret studied at Prešovská Univerzita in Slovakia and a Doctorate in Fine Art at Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic.
