ABOUT THE ARTIST ANDREA URLASS
I grew up with a father who loved to take pictures. When I was 16 I ‘ve got my first camera and from this time on I started shooting. For a long while it was just a hobby, pleasant to have some memories of foreign countries or events I visited.
My motivation to take pictures changed completely, when I started realizing, how beautiful nature is. I often felt so touched seeing a tiny single flower behind a wall, a beautiful sunset, the pattern of a leaf, the grace of an old tree…I was grateful having a chance to witness those wonders.
My desire to capture the sometimes unseen little miracles grew and I got more excited letting them live forever through the images and sharing them.
Since 1997 I was travelling to and fascinated by the Caribbean. In 2008 I quit my job, left my mother country Germany and followed my creative path, focusing on taking images of different Caribbean islands.
With my pictures, which will be presented in a book, I tried to capture the magic atmosphere, the colors, the beauty and the life in the Caribbean, mainly of Barbados. My wish is to share this beauty and touch the hearts of all the people, who have never been here.
