About Andrea Carrillo
Represented Artist
Andrea Carrillo was born in Nuevo León, Mexico in 2001 and is currently a junior at the Kansas City Art Institute. During the off-season she resides in Bentonville, Arkansas with her parents. Her works are recognized as rich and inspirational, while her linework has been noted by her instructors for its expressiveness.
Her raw talent underlies an incredibly promising future in the art world. Andrea enjoys experimenting with various mediums such as acrylic, oil, printmaking, and mixed media. She has won several awards in both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional work from the Arkansas Young Artist Association while in High School. Carrillo is the youngest artist exhibited professionally by Art Ventures Gallery.
This body of work, Cabeza y Corazón, began as a series of 10 works made in 10 days, part of an assignment I was required to complete for class. Even though they were homework, I thoroughly enjoyed making them all. Given our peculiar global predicament, the people portrayed in my canvases are simply familiar faces, people around me that I was able to use as models and compare their resemblance with my paintings in real-time. There was a gradual, noticeable improvement in each painting I completed, slowly solidifying my style, and allowing me to be more confident with each of my artistic choices. I continue this personal art practice along with my studies.
