Angelika Mehrens
Born and raised in Germany, as Heike Angelika Mehrens, she has been painting since the age of five.
Growing up in Europe has always been an inspiration for her Art today.
As an Art Major in school, she studied Graphic Design and Fashion in Madrid, Spain, where she supported herself through acting, modeling, and painting.
However the fashion world and computers could not replace her passion for the "rawness" of a canvas & color, hence the beginning of her Art Career had started.
"My inspirations are mainly from: Nature , water, oceans, sky, sunsets, different types of earth structures etc, and then just let the colors flow and play..."
Recently she has been working on her new ART DECO series of abstract paintings, which are all about movement, in many colors.
I paint with "my soul", sometimes Day and Night and
"I believe Art should communicate to the viewer"
Angelikas Art can be seen in several Galleries in Los Angeles, Private Collectors, Art Exhibits, festivals, Hotels, Restaurants and online.
Her paintings have been seen in commercials & t.v. shows: ABC - " Brothers & Sisters " , "Ali Stone"Universal - "Untitled Mentor Project", "The Rockford Files"
Angelika lives and works in Los Angeles from her home based Studio surrounded by her husband and two children and two dogs.
