Andrea Pro

Life in the desert feels like a daydream. It feels warm, inviting, and nostalgic. This energy is what I aim to capture in my work. My driving force as an artist is the need to document daily life and redefine the world around me. I have developed a strong connection with my environment, growing up surrounded by the diverse and natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Using my surroundings as inspiration, I create bold images of different moments and places in time. Whether real or imagined, what I create always comes from a place of love and authenticity. I often use myself as the subject of my paintings, helping me to confront past traumas and begin a healing process.
Themes of cultural identity, self-exploration, and femininity are found throughout my work. Taking inspiration from my lived experiences, childhood, and dreams, I use the most simple images to breathe new life and meaning into them. Through my paintings and illustrations, I seek not only to show beauty, but to inspire imagination and bring comfort to all those who connect with my work. I paint with intention in every brushstroke, trying to capture the fleeting moments of my everyday life.
