Notes


Andrea Tyrimos’ work explores human relationships and mental health through intimate portrait paintings and installations.

In a time where we need hope more than ever, Andrea’s recent portraits, including ‘A room hung with thoughts’ aim to uplift and provide hope by exploring resilience and how people are maintaining positive mental health during the pandemic.

Painted with oil paint on steel, the steel represents both the strength and vulnerability that exist within people. Steel as a material can be marked and scratched, its smooth finish altered by dents and the surface tarnished by rust - representing the internal scars that can exist for people. Yet it is strong and will stand, possessing a beautiful strength and resilience for having been through it.

A graduate from Central St Martins, she pushes the boundaries of portraiture, at times uniquely combining both visual and audio elements, to give an invisible illness visibility and presence.
