ANDREA HRNJAK

ILLUSTRATION

Welcome to an enchanting journey where the wild spirit dances under the watchful gaze of the moon, transporting you to a world where the boundaries between magic and reality cease to exist...


Shadow Dance

" Notorious fairy tale villains take on a magical new luster and — before you know it — the big bad wolf isn’t so bad and the wicked witch isn’t so wicked. Andrea Hrnjak’s art is filled with whimsical visions of wolves, witches, and phases of the moon."

DESIGN BY HUMANS

 "Andrea's color palate reflects a moonlit night in the desert. Her works are delicate in both color and the hand she uses to create these pieces. Andrea's deep connection with nature and all of its creatures is obvious when looking at these images."

"Wild.Delicate.Tempting."

STEW

"The lines Andrea Hrnjak draws are so gentle and light, these images seem to be the definition of ethereal."

"Comisionados en paseo de escape nocturno, los idilios mágicos de la esencia de hadas asoman para, con la ayuda de mariposas y flores, arrojar fragancias de rosas y nardos sobre el augurio de liberación de las almas aterradas de ciudad...

...Son los bosques de naturaleza encumbrada el hábitat de lo fantástico, así lo atestiguan los cuentos y los fantasmas nostálgicos que ellos han inspirado. Son padre y madre que cobija y que arrebata. No obstante, el hombre, uno más de sus observados, se ha rebelado para atosigarse de tecnología y prisa. Alejado de sus similares: los animales; los humanos: seres “superdotados” de inteligencia y creatividad han dado un salto para encumbrarse en deidades de ellos mismos. Con el conocimiento como atenuante, han privilegiado el progreso y el dinero en acto fútil por saciar su ambición. Ambición en juego de equilibrios rotos que en futuros plásticos ha dado pie a la erosión de aquello que alguna vez respeto y cuido...

...Los dibujos de Andrea Hrnjak retoman la calma y la conexión olvidada entre los hombres y animales, todos del mismo origen y acompañantes de la evolución son caracteres en cohabitación de los temperamentos acicalados por el plástico de la modernidad. Son aullido de bosque que se eleva durante la noche para arrullarse de luna menguante y estrellas, estrellas que tatúan los cuerpos de sus cuestionados. Son anuncio de lobos y cuervos, de búhos sabios que posan en hombros mientras lanzan sus solemnes augurios. Hay poesía, hay metáfora visual."

About Me

I am Andrea Hrnjak,a Croatian-born,Vienna-based artist and devoted admirer of the wild,the luminous and the mystical.

My journey has been one of self-discovery, adaptability, and creative exploration.

As a young student at the University Of Applied Arts in Vienna,i had the extraordinary opportunity to study under the guidance of Vivienne Westwood and Helmut Lang, two iconic figures in the fashion world.I honed my skills, developed a keen eye for style, and cultivated a deep understanding of the industry.

Eager to explore new horizons,i embarked on a transformative journey to China. Intrigued by the country's rich cultural heritage,i seized the opportunity to teach and share my knowledge with aspiring fashion enthusiasts. Teaching in China not only provided a fresh perspective but also allowed me to immerse myself in a different culture, fostering personal growth and expanding my creative outlook.

After many years in the fashion industry and abroad,i experienced a turning point in my career. Deep within,i rediscovered a long-lost passion for drawing, which had always held a special place in my heart. Fueled by this newfound inspiration,i made the courageous decision to pursue my artistic inclination wholeheartedly.

With an unwavering commitment to my craft,i embarked on a new chapter of my life and dedicated myself to refining my drawing skills, experimenting with various techniques, and exploring diverse artistic styles.

Throughout my illustrious career, i have had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed clients and partners from various industries, each contributing to my journey of creative exploration.

Some notable clients and collaborators include:
 Burton Snowboards,Commons & Sense Magazine Tokyo,The Clothes Maiden Magazine,I Love Illustration,Parenting Magazine etc...


Andrea Hrnjak

From an early age, I found solace and inspiration in the stories of my homeland, where tales of witches and otherworldly beings were inseparable from the culture and landscape. These narratives, took on a new significance when I embarked on my artistic journey.

In my youth, I overlooked their significance, but it was during my studies in Vienna that their uniqueness and captivating allure awakened within me. These tales, like whispers from the ancients, ignited a profound yearning for a more magical life. It was then that I embarked on a wondrous exploration into the realms of mysticism, ancient myths, and sacred rituals.

Drawing from mythology, fantasy and the occult my art seeks to bridge the realms of the known and the mysterious.Within surreal and dreamy scenes, the feminine form dances in harmony with nature, while spirit animals guide us through hidden realms.

In this wondrous exploration, I discovered my own profound meaning, unveiling the radiant power of the divine feminine within.

May my creations ignite the spark of wildness within you,encourage you to embrace your inner magic and walk a path less traveled.
