Andreia Santana’s multidisciplinary work spans sculpture, installation, and mixed media. Her art is characterized by an exploration of industrial materials, mechanical processes, and the intersections between human and machine. Santana often incorporates found objects and repurposed materials into her creations, imbuing them with new meanings and narratives. Her installations are thoughtfully constructed, inviting viewers to engage with themes of transformation, obsolescence, and the passage of time. Through her meticulous and innovative approach, Santana examines the relationship between technology and the human experience, often highlighting the fragility and impermanence inherent in both. Her work is both visually compelling and intellectually stimulating, offering a poignant commentary on the evolving nature of industry and its impact on society and culture.
