Details

(1964, Belo Horizonte – Bern) Andréa Azzi is a brazillian-swiss artist, cultural producer, and art director. Andréa started her work in the late 1980s producing paintings, multimedia installations and objects and has spent the last three decades living in Switzerland. Master in Culture and Media Studies from Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHDK) and a degree in Fine Arts from Hochschule der Künste Bern (HKB) Andréa Azzi has been back in Brazil since 2015.

Azzi’s approach in painting reflects a deep engagement with the intersection of natural beauty and environmental crisis. Her work, characterized by predominantly abstract forms, captures the essence of landscapes and their transformation under the shadow of environmental disasters. Her paintings evoke a sense of nostalgia and anxiety, depicting the beauty of familiar scenes while also addressing the imminent threats and uncertainties facing the environment. Through her artwork, she plays with the delicate balance between beauty and destruction.

In May 2023, Andréa opened her solo exhibition “Intertwined Horizon” in Luzern, Switzerland, marking her return after several years in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Her debut solo show in Brazil was “Language is a Skin” at AM Galeria de Arte in 2019, curated by Manu Grossi. Her work includes group exhibitions at Junta 2022 and GAL ATELIER 2022 in Belo Horizonte, as well as the Master of Arts Exhibition Group (1992) in Zurich.
