6_Commissions

Throughout her career, the artist has taken on a range of commissions in both public and private spaces, each marking meaningful moments in her creative path. These experiences have expanded her practice, allowing her to explore new dimensions of expression and build connections with diverse audiences and environments.
Public commissions, in particular, have offered opportunities to integrate her work into community settings—bringing art into everyday life and encouraging moments of reflection, curiosity, and connection. At the same time, private projects have opened space for more intimate and experimental approaches, deepening her visual and symbolic language and anchoring her presence in the contemporary art landscape.

This dual approach—moving between public visibility and personal exploration—reflects Andreina's ongoing commitment to versatility, transformation, and the evolving role of art in community.  Her most notable commission Mapping Connection , Oakland Mural,

8_ Large-Scale Works & Public Art

Scale is more than size—it is presence, resonance, and shared experience.
My large-scale projects are gestures of connection: linking people to place, memory to environment, art to everyday life.


This dual approach—moving between public visibility and personal exploration—reflects my ongoing commitment to versatility, transformation, and the evolving role of art in community. On my most recent large-scale commission, Mapping Connection, a private Oakland-area mural, these ideas come together in a sweeping cartography of memory. Designed from custom maps, printed on MDF panels, and hand-painted with shifting layers of color and texture, the piece transforms the Bay Area’s geography into a living record of stories and belonging—a reminder that every landscape holds the marks of those who inhabit it._____


La escala es más que tamaño: es presencia, resonancia y experiencia compartida.
Mis proyectos a gran escala son gestos de conexión: enlazan a las personas con el lugar, la memoria con el entorno, el arte con la vida cotidiana. 

Este enfoque dual—en movimiento entre la visibilidad pública y la exploración personal—refleja mi compromiso constante con la versatilidad, la transformación y el papel cambiante del arte en la comunidad. En mi comisión más reciente a gran escala, Mapping Connection, un mural privado en el área de Oakland, estas ideas convergen en una amplia cartografía de la memoria. Diseñado a partir de mapas personalizados, impreso en paneles de MDF y pintado a mano con capas de color y textura en movimiento, la obra transforma la geografía del Área de la Bahía en un registro vivo de historias y pertenencia, recordándonos que todo paisaje guarda las huellas de quienes lo habitan.
