It’s been a while since I did a (re)introduction post in the online world 👀
I’m Andrea—an illustrator exploring emotions and the mental health challenges of modern life. My work is all about capturing the messiness of being human with warmth, wit, and a touch of imperfection.
Lately, making art has felt… strange. The world feels heavy, and staying motivated has been harder than usual. Some days, creativity flows effortlessly; other days, it feels like I’m trying to squeeze water from a stone.
But despite this, I keep coming back to why I create in the first place—to make sense of emotions, to connect, and to help others feel seen. That’s always been at the heart of my work. Even when inspiration feels distant, I remind myself that art isn’t about perfection. It’s about honesty.
My illustrations have always embraced imperfection, the beautiful messiness of being human. I try to capture the rawness of emotion—sometimes with warmth and humor, sometimes with a touch of quiet melancholy. Because life is all of those things at once.
If my work has ever resonated with you, I hope it serves as a reminder that you’re not alone in the chaos. We’re all navigating this together, one imperfect step at a time.
If this post spoke to you, I’d love to hear your thoughts. What keeps you going when creativity feels out of reach?
