About Amanda Andersen

I work primarily with acrylic paint on canvas, incorporating elements of collage. My art reflects my personal experiences and the chaotic, abstract nature of life, navigating the space between the abstract and the figurative. I aim to balance minimal compositions with bold, high-contrast patterns and vibrant colors. Inspired by the rigid lines of Agnes Martin and the organic forms of Eva Hesse, I am drawn to the interplay between fluid shapes found in nature and clean, precise geometry.

This tension reflects my need to impose rhythm and order amidst disorder, turning initial messiness into cohesive compositions where every element finds its place. I also find inspiration in fantasy films, surrealism, edgy brutalist architecture and super smooth gradients. 

My work has been exhibited internationally at venues such as the Kunstraum Kreuzberg in Berlin, Tiny Creatures in Los Angeles, and the National Centre for Contemporary Arts State Museum in St. Petersburg.
