The Artist
Andrea Estefania Castaneda Castro Andrea was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras and her beginnings as an artist were from a very young age.
Andrea sold her first painting at the age of 15, then followed her passion for comics and did some professional ones with her sister. Andrea continued her art career studying illustration at Savannah College of Art & Design for a year. She continued studying graphic design when she returned to Mexico while working as an illustrator for several foreign companies, illustrating children’s e-books.
In 2018, Andrea took a sabbatical year on Roatan Island, and started painting murals. Word spread, and now her mural works can be seen in many places on the island, restaurants, bars, dive shops and more. She is known by the locals as “Andrea the Artist”.
Since then, she has continued her art career as a muralist in Mexico and now, in the United States. Being in the US has allowed her to present her art in galleries in Washington DC,Virginia, New York City and Italy.
