The artist lives and works in Berlin and Spain.

Andrea Amelung is dedicated to the experimental process of painting in a profound and expressive way. Her style is contemporary abstract expressionist and addresses local conditions, global developments (NoPLANetB - Rust & Patina), environmental issues, natural forces (4 Elements - Pigment Works), beauty (Gold Works), transience and decay (Stone Dust Works).

Andrea is deeply devoted to the experimentation of process. She has developed a special method that incorporates a variety of mediums to produce intense color effects that shimmer and radiate from the canvas.

Amelung is a traveler at heart with extended stays in many locales around the world. These experiences have served her well as an artist, collecting ideas, materials and skills along the way. She has studied and painted in various artist studios, masterclasses and workshops, efforts that have broadened her understanding of experimental processes and the practice of painting as a whole. The extraordinary results of her diligent efforts are easy to discern. 

Her achievements with texture produce a weathered  time-tested appearance to the application of paint. Other works are approached with graduations of a particular hue, to allow for the richest expression of the dominant color. Geometric forms and gestural lines are scrawled into or on the top of the paint, evoking both modern and ancient art forms. Amelung uses pure pigments in combination with unusual painting media such as plastic, sand, ash and marble dust. Her superb layering effects are also achieved by applying washes of beeswax and then scraping sections to reveal the layers below, providing a potent sense of texture and depth. Amelung has exhibited and sold to private collectors worldwide.

Since 2020 she has been working on mosaic sculptures made of stones or concrete and large mobilees, made of metal or fluorescent acrylic glass rings.
