ANDREA VON BUJDOSS

Location

New York City, New York

Andrea von Bujdoss (AKA graffiti nickname "Queen Andrea") is a New York City based fine artist, typographer, graffiti artist and graphic designer. A die-hard native New Yorker raised in the vibrant neighborhood of Soho Manhattan, Andrea has been deeply inspired by the urban landscape from an early age. As a teenager part of a newer generation of graffiti writers, she befriended some of the most prolific old school subway graffiti writers and diligently taught herself the complicated artform of graffiti by consistently practicing her letters and eventually developing her own unique style. She then earned a BFA in Graphic Design and began a successful career, working for worldwide brands who appreciate both the urban creative flavor of her work and her versatile and passionate knowledge of typography, branding and visual communication. Her work has directly impacted graffiti, streetwear and urban culture. Andrea has spent 18 years perfecting her graffiti and typography skillset and she is consistently evolving her graphic style, pushing her own creative boundaries and building new, exciting visual vocabularies. At the same time, she is one of the most skilled and notable female graffiti artists in the world, possessing a highly creative and advanced style, inspired by the vibrancy of the urban landscape.
The excitement, color, diversity and crazy energy of city life, and especially graffiti art, is where Andrea finds her creative inspiration. Renegade cutting-edge artforms, brash sub-cultures and lifestyles that have sprang forth from an ever-changing urban metropolis give her the visual stimulus, the guts, and the urge to create and innovate. Her artistic style is influenced by an endless appreciate of typography, as well as themes of urban life, fame, the golden age of hip hop, female superheroes, the advertising age, funk and rap music, 1980's rock music, punk rock, cartooning, pop art, geometry, symbolism, signpainter lettering and super bright color palettes. Andrea's new paintings are intricate and intense explorations of geometry, color and form which create fantastical, harmonious, bright worlds of abstraction. Back in the streets, Andrea has developed a reputation for her oversized typography murals. She has been featured in major art shows, solo shows, magazines, books, fashion lines, brand collaborations and has curated and exhibited in numerous art shows around the world.
