All the elements of Andreas’ work are composed as in a theatrical piece: the painting is the scenography of actions and non-actions, a metaphor for those who observe them; the tools and sculptures the props, whose meaning changes, are discovered in space, All things live in a condition of continuous action, as abscissions of performing art. With these guidelines, his work investigates the relationship between reality and representation in society, admitting the failure of communication in contemporary times. Like thresholds or half-open exits, his works oscillate in conditions bordering on tiredness and anxiety, lamentation and accusation, obligation and boredom, individual and collective, and they do so indolently, hypocritically, in the full paradox of reality.
