Andrea Ahmed is an award-wining interdisciplinary artist. He uses different mediums of expressions.
His art draws inspiration from the human dynamics and the movement of light.
Andrea explores traditional and novel art forms, combining art with technology to create visual and interactive perspectives.
Personal Statment
My work explores different aspects of light, movement, and reflection on human perception, tracing the way we sense, perceive and relate.
The practice moves fluidly across mediums to investigate the intricate of the experience. I allow my work to flow through multiple layers, interwoven between mediums and outlets.
The medium itself can be a limit, a message, or a participant in harmony within the theme— the dynamic interplay between form and art becomes part of the thread.
Certain works unfold as immersive installations, images, and words. Music inspires the dance within the practice. Poem is a subject and a rhythm.
Artistic Philosophy
“Unseen — for feelings, for senses, for what connects us.”
A dialogue with perception; art as a vessel for empathy and awareness — exploring the space of art and human experience.
Creative Praxis
The creative praxis flows as an evolving inquiry, grounded in the interplay between perception and form. The practice unfolds as a continuous negotiation — a conversation of observation, reflection, and creation. It moves in cycles, where listening and making become both methods of expression and understanding, gestures of exploration within an ever-shifting terrain.
Each phase is guided by an emerging conceptual framework that evolves over time, rather than by a predetermined methodology. Every period opens new pathways, integrating new tools and generating different experiential outcomes.

Research
Alternatively, my research projects often combine art, human factors, and technology to create practical implementations:
Sereene, starts 2025, a blend of art and technology for general wellbeing, with a starting focus on intellectual diversity and healthy ageing groups. Cooperation with Harvard Medical School / MGH Data Science–USA, and INSIDE for Studies in Social Inclusion, Diversity–Ireland, under the EU umbrella.
The Eye, 2018–2021, assistive fashion, smart jewellery for blind and partially sighted individuals. Cooperation with University of Toronto – Canada, University of Twente, and University of Amsterdam – Netherlands. The project twice awarded by the European Union.
EyeSense, 2014–2018, memory, and partially sighted advanced assistance that sees the world around and translating it into spoken conversations. A human–AI experience applications, the project was also featured at TEDx Indiana University.>
