Lyandrea

(b.1992) (elle [EH'-jeh]) is a multipotentialite artist of Borinquen ancestry. Whose work captivates the essence of the world around us, delivering powerful messages and true beauty. Drawing inspiration from their surroundings, Lyandrea skillfully transforms photographs into stunning visual representations, often with an intriguing twist of distortion. Their artistic process begins with dissecting the images, meticulously creating what they see. Drawing multiple references, Lyandrea then brings their captivating drawings to life with acrylic and oil paint, expertly navigating the interplay between the flat matte and textured oil mediums elle adores.

As an ultra-sensitive being with high vibrations, Lyandrea strives to capture experiences that cannot be photographed, relying on their exceptional memory and artistic skill to recreate those profound moments. Their future works aim to share these otherworldly encounters, inviting viewers into a realm of heightened sensitivity and connection.

Lyandrea admires a diverse array of artists, including Brill Adium, Adey, Jillian Evelyn, Abbey Rich, Boy Kong, Ed Freeman, Fabiana Hiromi, Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, Matisse, and Keith Haring. Their profound respect for these artists and their unique contributions fuels their own artistic journey.

Driven by a passion for social change, Lyandrea’s work focuses on queer theory, environmental issues, and various forms of societal injustice. With a desire to reach a global audience, elle seeks a strong platform that can amplify their voice and foster meaningful connections.

Notable achievements include receiving the People's Choice Award at the 2022 Pride group exhibition at the Orlando Museum of Art. Their recent exhibitions include “For Them, For Us” at The Bakery in Atlanta, GA, 6/27-7/6/2025, “Pride” at the Orlando Museum of Art in June 2022, and "Recycled Art Exhibition" at Casselberry Art House in Casselberry, FL, 4/1/2022-4/30/2022. They also participated in the 'Transparency' group exhibition at the I.M.A.G.E. gallery in Brooklyn, NY, from 6/2017 to 6/2017.
