Biography
Dana Andreev (1951, Warsaw) comes from a family of painters and sculptors; visual arts were second nature to her even as a child and she also showed a unique skill in her later life. She graduated cum laude from the Graphic Faculty of the Warsaw Academy of Arts and quickly gained fame in her native Poland with her film posters – Poland has a rich history in the design of film posters.
After the political situation and lack of freedom in her home country forced her to flee, she settled in the Amsterdam Jordaan in 1982. Many years of foreign homelands followed, including the United States and France, but eventually Amsterdam and the Netherlands became a new home.
In all her works there is a center, Dana observes the human being in all his emotions; she does not seek contact with the portrayed, but consciously keeps her distance. That maintains the enchantment, wonder and first impression. In addition, her direction is also largely determined by technique; Dana has developed her own graphic processes and is also open to new techniques.
Another example of her penchant for innovation is her collaboration with the Porceleyne Fles in Delft. For them she designed and painted a series of ceramic and Delft blue plates.
Dana has also exhibited at PrintShop/Galerie Clement, Galerie Rademakers, Galerie Cheiron, Art Works in Amsterdam, Galerie Raster in Utrecht, Galerie Art Options in Wijk bij Duurstede, SBK Kennemerland in Haarlem, CBK in Haarlem, Galerie K+A in Leiden, SBK Gooi en Eemer in Hilversum, Galerie van Hulsen in Leeuwarden, Museum Waterland in Purmerend, Galerie Kunst 2001 in Badhoevedorp, Galerie Hofman & vd Zee in Alphen a/d Rijn, Galerie Groeneveld in Almelo, L'Espace Bateau Lavoir in Paris, Galerie Bozar in Antwerp, Galerie AE in Gothenburg.
Works in the collections of: ING, KPN, TNT, Diakonese Hospital in Leiden, Poster Museum Wilanow, Poland.
