contemporary artist whose

communication of conceptu-
al letter and human relation-
ships. Andrade is compelled
to visually express a blend
of subconscious images and
handwriting. Utilizing wa-
tercolors, acrylics and oth-
er forms of mixed media the
archetypical imagery com-
bines to create urban con-
temporary icons that mirror
his Los Angeles upbringing.

Frozen with snow.
