You Promised Me Forever - Andrea Guzzetta

You Promised Me Forever / 2023 / Andrea Guzzetta (Los Angeles, California) / Oil on panel / 14 inch diameter / $1400

"I first conceived of this piece in early 2021 after a devastating breakup with someone who had made a lot of promises they never meant to keep. Unicorns are a symbol of both innocence (which is fleeting) and immortality. Obsessed with them in childhood, they remain one of my placeholders for self. These broken promises got me thinking about how the only unbreakable promise is death and how even unicorns can be slain. This unicorn is wounded but still fights to hold onto both its innocence and immortality. That’s where we all are - fighting for love and life and hope in a difficult world. At its core, this piece is a reminder that nothing lasts forever and every promise is fragile."

Andrea Guzzetta is a Los Angeles based artist originally from Wisconsin. She graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design with a BFA in Sculpture.

Described as 'Lisa Frank without her Xanax', Andrea's distinct style blends the traditional techniques of classical painting with a pastel aesthetic. She uses her bold cheery palette to explore themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and the hidden magic of small moments.
