We too wanted a personalized painting. And since Andrea is a very professional and sensitive woman we came to her. She took the time to regularly brainstorm with us about how we wanted it. And if she had any ideas, they were discussed in advance.
Very pleasant to see a painting come to fruition like this and so it hangs proudly in our living room.
See the wonderful result.

For a personal painting, we very deliberately chose Andrea. We had already seen beautiful and special works of art from her hand. Moreover, she is a nice and warm personality to work with.
Inspired by natural elements such as sea, soil, fire and wood, the painting took shape. We regularly visited Andrea's studio to see the progress of the artwork and to give our own input. We are very happy with the final result.

Andrea bedankt voor het vastleggen van onze mooie herinneringen!
Like any brand new parent, we wanted something special for our child. We wanted a unique birth announcement card. And that's how we ended up at Atelier Andrea. We had a lot of wishes and ideas and the creative mind of Andrea was able to create awhole. For example, we received a birth announcement card that was custom made and completely unique.
After we realized that Andrea's creativity had no limits, we also wanted to have a painting made for our son. As small as he was, it had to suit him. The blond, handsome curly-haired boy who prefers to be outside, diving into every sand pile like a real 'Freek in the Wild', had to get a painting that suited him. And in our opinion Andrea has succeeded perfectly. It hangs on our wall as an eye catcher and every time I look at it or someone asks about it, it gives me a good feeling and I am proud of "our" painting.
And then came son number two, who of course could not stay behind. Andrea also started working with creativity and passion for him. But this time in a completely different way. Because this time we did not really know what direction to take. Only that it had to be different and have lots of colors. And Nox's card also became aone of a kind. Fresh, cheerful and colorful.
Nox is a very different child. A boy of cars, trains and mostly a clown. When Nox walks in, the room becomes just a little bit lighter and that's how his painting was supposed to be. And it is. A fresh, casual and happy painting that makes our room just a little bit brighter.
We have two great memories when we look at the cards and two great paintings, which create emotional value and pride for us.
For both the birth announcements and the paintings, a conversation preceded the design, so that the direction was determined and we could see what your wishes were. We then got to see a sample, so you knew if it was broadly in line with what you had in mind. Because that's one thing we were most surprised about. A few words, resulted in a visual process with surprising results.
Andrea I am happy to thank you again in this way for your fine conversations, creative insight, patience, kindness, professionalism and understanding of our ideas and wishes. We have two beautiful memories when we look at the cards and two amazing paintings, which generate emotional value and pride for us.
Love Charlene, Nick, Kymo and Nox!
Andrea creates paintings at the request of the client. We chose Andrea because we wanted a painting in theme and color appropriate to the practice. After consulting and coordinating our ideas on location where the painting would hang, Andrea made a 20 by 20 centimeter trial design. This was a good representation of the final result. Our expectations were exceeded.

What appealed to us in Andrea's paintings is her figurative way of working, beautiful shapes and colors. When we wanted to have a painting made in this style, we could indicate from the start what we wanted in terms of colors, the layout and which elements we wanted to include in the painting. We live in a church that has been converted into a residential building and we wanted all kinds of elements of the old church to come back.
We sent Andrea pictures of stained glass motifs. Andrea photographed the church from the outside so that this could be reflected in the painting.
WE STILL ENJOY GETTING ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSES FROM VISITORS.
Andrea herself is always enthusiastic and during the work things were always adjusted and changed in consultation with her. An example is the weathercock, the coat of arms of Velsen, which once decorated the tower. Now it would look a bit small and moreover we found the left corner of the painting a bit empty. The solution was found in adding a large coat of arms in the upper left corner. We always enjoy getting enthusiastic reactions from visitors.
