Hello there, my name is Adriana Antonia Artmeier (Yes, Artmeier is my real name) and I am originally from Germany and decided to move to Melbourne, Australia in 2016, because what could be more intriguing than poisonous little creatures everywhere?
​
I started drawing early on with my Grandmother, who was an artist as well.
After she passed away in the early 2000s, I took a break from art for a while. As I got older I started getting interested in art again and started drawing different portraits with graphite pencils of my favorite Idols at the time. A couple of years after experimenting with graphite I started using charcoal and also coloured pencils. In 2017 thanks to a close friend of mine I started finding my love for painting.
I started painting portraits of pets, people, etc until I finally got to the level where I confidently could try something new. I always wanted to go into a surrealistic, kind of darker area with my art but I thought I never had the skill for it and I should continue practicing fine art portraits and landscapes.
At one point though I decided to go for it and actually bring my own ideas to life, yay! In my Gallery, etc. you will be able to see both.
​
Currently, most of my artwork is very focused on the topics of ocean conservation, mental health, and how we treat our planet and the beautiful creatures on it. A lot of my work features creatures like sharks which have been the main focus in my most recent works.
