Meadowy Melody. Andreina Bates, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

By Gina Malone<\/p>\n

A healthy dose of curiosity has kept Andreina Bates exploring and creating throughout her life\u2014whether that be taking radios apart to see how they worked, photographing the world around her or creating with textiles. She chose industrial engineering as a career and it was at the encouragement of a fellow engineer\u2014who gifted her a watercolor painting she had created\u2014that Bates considered a path she hadn\u2019t before. \u201cI was floored to learn she had painted it herself and my first thought was \u2018are we allowed to do that?\u2019\u201d Bates says. \u201cFor some reason, I had never tried painting because it felt like something a child would be doing, not working adults.\u201d<\/p>\n

Golden Hour. Andreina Bates, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Bates grew up in Caracas, Venezuela surrounded by family. \u201cAt 17 years old, I moved to Kansas to study English,\u201d she says. \u201cLong story short, I never actually moved back home. The political environment in Venezuela shifted and I felt I had better opportunities here.\u201d With her curiosity about how things work and a natural aptitude for math and science, industrial engineering appealed to her. After graduation, she found a job in Florida where she met her husband, had twins and lived for 20 years until 2020 when they achieved their dream of moving to Asheville.<\/p>\n

When her friend gave her that watercolor painting\u2014nearly 9 years ago now\u2014she went out the next day and bought a sketchbook. Eventually, she graduated to experimentation on large canvases. \u201cI feel my most authentic self when I am painting,\u201d Bates says.<\/p>\n

She does still work full-time outside of art, however. \u201cHaving a job that doesn\u2019t rely on my creativity allows me to remain playful in my practice,\u201d she says. \u201cI believe this comes through in my paintings and people can connect with that playfulness. My creative process is uniquely influenced by my analytical skills. I work in layers, much as I would when managing a large tech project. Starting out with big bold strokes, before getting into the details. I am always curious and comfortable experimenting with mixing media and textures.\u201d<\/p>\n

That experimentation extends to subjects, surfaces and methods as well. \u201cI do my best work when I allow myself to play and experiment without being attached to the end result,\u201d she says. Because of the freedom she likes to give herself, she does not work on commission, feeling that it hinders her creative process.<\/p>\n

The playful quality of her work resonates with those who see her art displayed at ArtPlay, in Asheville. \u201cIf you watch her Instagram videos, you\u2019ll see she has a way of maintaining a child-like spontaneity while she paints\u2014and this really comes through,\u201d says Kristen Edge, owner of ArtPlay.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople tell me her paintings feel joyful, and it\u2019s so true. The color palettes she uses, but also the mark-making and the personality of each animal. It brings a feeling of aliveness and joy to the space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Family is and has always been inspirational in Bates\u2019 life. In Venezuela, her mother owned a gallery for 20 years, and her father was also an engineer, who began delving into art after he retired. Today her husband and children\u2014teenagers now\u2014offer her support in her art career and, more practically, in the physical work of being an artist, including helping to set up installations, hand craft frames and prime canvases. \u201cMy studio is at home and my kids frequently come down to my studio and just sit quietly and watch me paint,\u201d she says. \u201cThey say it is relaxing for them to watch me and they feel my studio is the happiest place in the house. I love showing them that creativity and art are important\u2014for all of us. I believe we are all born creative and that it is an innate need for humans, whether that is through art, writing, dancing, cooking or any other form of creating.\u201d<\/p>\n

She works mostly in acrylics, but incorporates pencils, markers, charcoals and pastels into the work. \u201cI also have a love for sumi-e (Japanese ink painting) and watercolors,\u201d she adds, \u201cand I have a special series that I call gaias where I only use this medium.\u201d She considers this series, begun during the pandemic, to be her most personal. \u201cThe series explores the idea of our connection to the four elements (water, fire, earth and air),\u201d she says. \u201cThe gaias propose that each individual is an ecosystem, intimately intertwined with the natural world and energies around us. They invite the viewer to examine their choices and surroundings, recognizing the direct correlation between what we absorb and emit.\u201d<\/p>\n

For her, creativity often originates when she is otherwise occupied. \u201cMy work notebooks are filled with technical notes from my work conference calls along with doodles of ideas that cross my mind,\u201d she says. \u201cThis is very much how my caballitos (little horses) and pajaritos (little birds) series began. As soon as I have time, usually on the weekends, I take those ideas to the canvas. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don\u2019t. It is part of the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

As she taught herself to paint through the years, she also learned to allow herself to create without judgment and expectation. \u201cI connect with my paintings and feel that the viewers can feel authenticity when they see a piece,\u201d she says. \u201cI want my art to evoke a sense of curiosity to connect with your inner child. When I\u2019m painting, I am connecting with myself, but I\u2019m also extending that invitation to the viewer.\u201d<\/p>\n
