born 1959, lives and works in Vienna;

1986 - 1989 education into graphic reproduction and painting at the Viennese Art school;

since 2007 exhibitions and other artistic activities, primarily in Vienna and adjoining foreign countries.

Andrea Groier' s work arises mainly in mixed media using acrylic, oil pastels, graphite, colored pencil and Indian ink and under use of all sorts of materials –partial self manufacturing objects. Style variety, structure wealth and use of the colors full of relish characterize her art works.

Starting point of the work is her love and her interest for everything human. So snapshots are made against the background of collected stories,  and experiences both with the environment and with herself.

From the everyday and the banal, but also from the inscrutable and bizarre, the artist draws energy, ideas and creativity.

With her inherent directness and intensity, also with a

wink, she gives the viewer often surprising and touching insights into the complex work

about the mysterious microcosm of human life.

"All in all, my artistic activities allow me to assimilate the absurdity of life lovingly and with humor .... "
