About
Andrea de Leon is a multidisciplinary artist that uses elements of light, equilibrium, optics and psychology in order to explore a “quantum neurosis.” Due to the nature of making the work, the exchange of heat and energy inherently embeds itself within the process and creates a dynamic cerebral landscape, often causing a paradox where it creates mass with negative space. The work takes a metaphysical approach to reveal something about the viewer - ultimately grasping to understand what makes us human.
Andrea is a Mexican-American artist based in Austin, Texas. She obtained her BFA in Studio Arts from the University of Texas and has received multiple awards, some of which include residencies at Ox Bow School of Art and Penland School of Crafts. She has worked and exhibited internationally and currently teaches metalsmithing in several institutions in Texas. Andrea was a founding member of ICOSA Collective and continues to evolve her sculptural practice.
