Andrea Hackl

My work is, foremost, a celebration of life and the life force within us human beings. It's an homage to the poetic power of the human body. It's an ode and a love declaration to the magnificence of this planet and the Earth.The visual as well as the physical, the sensorial and textural, the kinetic have always been essential to my work.I love explore and experiment. I love the poetic and mystic dimension of life. I am an adventurer and love the magic of travel. It lets me experience the richness of life, of diverse places and cultures, while also showing that we are all part of one humanity, no matter where your paths take you and whether you speak the same language. This fascination and inspiration flows into and nourishes my work.Further, I feel a strong calling to go outdoors, connect with the earth and am following this passion on my artistic path - a call to, especially, the powerful environments of mountains and ocean. Maybe like a modern shaman, seeking to connect to, channel, capture, to step into a dialogue, dance and create with the primal power that's very present in these places.My fascination and attraction has always been with and towards, my path as human being as well as artist has always been about this:the core power that is permeating and driving all of life; that is within nature and within our being as human beings, every fibre of our bodies.
