Andrea Vollgas

“I’ve always found it interesting how we wear our stories in our faces and bodies and how it can be captured, if only a little, through art.”

Meet Andrea

Andrea Vollgas (she/her), also known as Vollgas Studio, is a queer, feminist illustrator, storyteller and creative mentor, living and working between Germany and Switzerland. She believes that all people have the power to challenge preconceived notions and break through inauthentic social expectations and standards of beauty.

In her work, Andrea visualizes diverse voices by people and small businesses. These colorful depictions question the status quo and tell stories of uniqueness and feminism. Her goal is to use her artwork to create a truly diverse and representative visualization of today’s society and beliefs. Her commission project for Artist Development Fund is focused on visibility for the underrepresented, and will feature womxn, the LGBTQIA+ community, and the variation of body types and their beauty through her illustrations.
