Andrea Breinbauer’s work is characterized by the use of painting to reflect on certain aspects that the Western tradition, from the Renaissance to the advent of the avant-garde movements, has claimed as its own. Thus, through the creation of little sceneries and pictorial installations, Andrea delves into issues such as simulacra, the narrative capabilities of painting, the two-dimensionality of the surface, and the objectuality of the support. With well thought-out brushstrokes, which place her work at the edge of hyperrealism, the artist develops narratives that –whether they are inspired by literature, popular culture, or her own biography– they operate as a starting point for creating new stories through the superposition of images coming from various semantic fields.
