Artist Statement:
For a long time I have used
the imagery of Venice and the
Italian landscape in my
paintings. The layered work in
oil is abstract yet retains
the essence of the images
which inspired them.
Architectural elements such as
grids, gates, hearts and

against the transient nature
of life and relationships. My
most recent paintings were
inspired by the broken pieces
of ceramic tiles in the
Serpentine bench in Guell
Park, Barcelona, designed by
the architect Gaudi. I love

Artist Reviews:
Pierre-Auguste Renoir once
stated, “The work of art must
seize upon you, wrap you up in
itself and carry you away .
It is the means by which the
artist conveys his passion.”
Few artists imbue their
paintings with as much passion
as Andrea Goldsmith. She has
reinvigorated the modern ...
