AGNES ANDREI

 

As basic studies I am an engineer, with long management experience.

To free myself from daily routine and stress, about 10 years ago I started painting. First art course were made in a nice place where each session we learned to work with different medium: acrylic, watercolor, pastel, gouache, charcoal, ink, etc.  It was a nice way to discover what fits us better.

For a while I continued as a hobby working more in watercolor and discovering step by step the fascinating hazard game of pigment and water.

Not being fully satisfied and happy with result, in 2016 I started a more systematic approach, attending several workshops and courses with best Romanian watercolorist of the moment. Results did not delay to appear.

In the same period a joined the group of Urban Sketchers Bucharest/ Urban Sketchers Romania, a very dynamic, enthusiast and active group.

If in the beginning it was just a game, a way to spend quality time,  to enjoy and relax, in the last years it become an activity approached systematically , with  dedication , performance oriented. Watercolor is considered a difficult technique but also satisfactions are coming on level of efforts. Small miracles are happening if front of your eyes each time you put the pigments, for the later joy of the viewers.

Until now, my creations participated to 20 group exhibitions in Romania and abroad (Spain, Italy and Poland) and the first solo exhibition is under construction,   planned to be opened end of June, followed by other 2 until end of this year.

For me painting is a way to express emotions and create joy and happy moments for others.
