Artist Statement: Andrea Moreno is a multidisciplinary artist working with sound, video, sculpture, and installation. Her practice explores the relationship between the Other— the unknown, the nonexistent, the occult—and the human experience. She is particularly interested in the idea that aliens originate from within us, embodying the psychological and spiritual unknown rather than existing as external entities. Drawing from the materiality and movement of organic forms, she delves into mysticism, spirituality, and the esoteric, shaping anthropomorphic organisms that challenge perception and invite new ways of seeing. Her use of materials confronts the effect of the ‘Other,’ attempting to shift perspectives and reimagine the human relationship to the unfamiliar. Sound plays a significant role in her work, with compositions crafted to heighten emotional and psychological atmospheres. By manipulating sound, she creates environments where both physical and emotional textures become palpable. Rooted in biomimicry, her work mirrors nature’s processes, where biological forms and behaviors shape artistic expression. Moreno generates transformative experiences through her work, inviting contemplation on the unseen and provoking shifts in understanding and connection.
