The Familiar

Andrea Sipl is an artist who lives and breathes to show others that there is beauty where most people forget to look and can’t help but surrender to "the flicker" of starting a new piece when she hasn’t created anything for a while. Her faithful furry companions, Pudgy Taquito Mittens and Kitty are always the first to lend a critical eye to Andrea’s work

At only four years old, she realized that an artist had the power to transform the world at will whenever reality failed to provide. She stumbled upon this discovery quite accidentally, when she painted the petals of the white flowers she had brought for her mother to match the colors of the kitchen.

The love for pastel colors has stuck with her ever since, and when she is not admiring the works of James Jean, Arthur Rackham, William Adolphe Bouguereau or Alexander McQueen, she likes to explore the bond between women and animals and to attempt to capture the ever-lasting mystery that is femininity.

Andrea was born in Venezuela, but has dedicated herself to the pursuit of the arts in the US from the age of 17. She holds a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in animation and a Master’s degree in Illustration.
