About Alexandra Andreica
UK Contemporary Figurative Artist

I didn’t set out to become an artist. Painting entered my life during a time of quiet upheaval—when the path I was on no longer felt like my own.

​

Back then, I was working a job that left me numb and unfulfilled. One evening, almost on impulse, I ordered a small canvas and a few tubes of paint. I wasn’t trying to start anything. I just needed to feel something real. That moment marked the beginning of a deeper transformation.

​

Curiosity led me to the website of a local art university. Scrolling through the course list, I felt a sudden, unmistakable pull—like I’d rediscovered a dream I didn’t know I had permission to pursue. Despite no formal training and no preparation, I applied. To my own surprise, I was accepted—on a full scholarship. I went on to complete my studies with distinction.

​

Since then, painting has become not only my creative outlet but my way of understanding the world. I began with realism, trying to master technique. But over time, I felt the need to move beyond accuracy—toward something more instinctive, raw, and emotionally honest. My recent work embraces vibrant, sometimes unexpected color palettes and layered compositions that reflect inner complexity rather than surface perfection.

​

Today, I live and work in the UK, raising my son while building a career rooted in artistic integrity. My hope is that the work I create can speak to others the way painting first spoke to me—quietly, powerfully, and with a kind of truth that words can’t always carry.
