Area of Operation: Coquitlam

Andrea Matus deMeng is a combined media artist living in Vancouver BC who exhibits as well as teaches her unique combination of painting, collage, assemblage and sculpture throughout the world. In her art, Andrea creates powerful portraits skillfully combining colour, symbolism and ornamentation. Each motif is a transport to a different time and place, and through the process unrelated and discordant shapes and designs are manipulated to find balance and harmony where at first there seems none. Her passions and strong feminine aesthetic can be seen in all of her endeavours. The improvisational nature of collage coupled with the very deliberate method of painting creates a balance of spontaneity and premeditation in her work. Inspired by her extensive travels, a unique personal history and too many artistic influences to list, Andrea hopes to inspire others to live their creative lives and pursue their dreams of transformation.

• Allegories of Virtue & Vice: A Mixed Media Journey

  Within every stroke of color, every juxtaposed image, lies a hidden narrative waiting to emerge. This class draws inspiration from the poignant work of Paolo Veronese, beckoning you to explore the dualities of human nature through mixed media art where virtues stand in silent valor and vices whisper in tempting hues. Discover the art of layering with special focus on incorporating fresco-like textures that pay homage to the old masters while embracing the versatility of contemporary materials. By the end of our four-day escapade, you will have honed your technique in mixed media and created a compelling visual lexicon of your innermost reflections. The duality of light and shadow, the spectrum of human virtues and vices, awaits your interpretative brush. Materials Fee includes collage material and ephemera, specialty papers for textural techniques, specialty mediums (Gloss gel, Glazing Medium, Mica Flakes, molding paste, light molding paste), and other shared supplies.
