Andrea M. Weiss is a contemporary abstract artist working under the name flash for empathy.

Her practice explores subtle inner states that often remain unnoticed in everyday life; moments of tension, rupture, and quiet realignment that shape how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. Translating these intangible processes into an abstract visual language, her work investigates the relationship between inner awareness and external influence.

Her artistic practice unfolds across three interconnected series: Obstruction, Fracture, and Internalization. Together, they form a conceptual progression rather than isolated bodies of work. Beginning with states of resistance and limitation, moving through phases of disruption and dissolution, and culminating in processes of integration and inner consolidation, the series reflect shifting psychological and emotional conditions. A recurring visual motif evolves throughout the works, fragmenting and reassembling while retaining its core essence.

Working digitally while maintaining an analog oil and acrylic aesthetic, Weiss creates large-scale abstract compositions that combine conceptual clarity with visual intensity. Her work does not seek to offer solutions, but rather opens spaces for reflection and emotional presence. In this sense, flash for empathy becomes an invitation to slow perception; suggesting that what we search for externally may already reside within us.
