From an early age, Andrea van Gelder has been intrigued by messages found between the lines - hidden signs and subtle forms of communication. Her practice explores connection, presence, and the porous boundaries between the visible and invisible. Through sculpture, installation, printmaking, drawing, painting, and performance, she develops transparent dialogues with the audience. She holds a BA in Fine Arts (Royal Academy of Art, The Hague) and a Master’s in Sacred Art with honors (Florence). Before dedicating herself fully to the arts, she worked for over 20 years as a Child and Youth psychotherapist.
