Biography

Andreja Soleil is a master of plein air painting (French: en plein air / in the open air). The painter is particularly moved by the constantly changing dynamics of the ocean. Andreja Soleil has found her personal place of strength in this maritime landscape. Nature always paints along with her. Her neo-impressionist painting style lives strongly from waves, spray and the sea. more

Landscapes of a completely different kind can be found on the artist’s large-format canvases, which are created in her studio. Fairy tales and myths have accompanied her since early childhood. Woven materials in which the boundaries of reality, dream and fiction blur, overlap, unite – Other Worlds.

Andreja Soleil lives and works in Leipzig, Baltic Sea, Germany and Mallorca, Spain.

Painting means to be fully in the moment and to be attentive, to see what is coming – process of processing – journey into inner worlds from which deeply hidden things penetrate to the outside.

I love the wildness of the sea. Especially in winter, the ocean tells his own stories. Often there are only a few moments to capture the sea in its vividness. Lashing rain and Baltic sand are as much a part of my toolkit as brushes and colours.
