Canadian illustrator Andrea Wan has been living in Berlin for a little while. To find inspiration for her otherworldly paintings and cut-out paper pieces, she looks two places: to her dreams, which she often doodles out in a sketchbook, and to the landscape of Berlin itself.
In this video, you get a mini tour of Berlin as Wan takes you from her dreams, to the sketchbook, to her Berlin haunts - all in service of making her quizzical, eerie, fun illustrations.

The paintings have a wonderful, and whimsical style, but I wouldn’t call them eerie.
Agreed

I love what she says about letting her subconscious flow. She’s tapping into source. That’s why we have our best ideas between being asleep and awake.
Shane Slack this is so true, when I'm taking day naps where I don't truly fall asleep I'm kind of just laying there daydreaming that's when I have vivid images just flitting through my mind. But I can't memorize them so they're gone as soon as they come. I always wish I could just bonk myself on the head and a picture of my thoughts would pop out of my mouth like a Polaroid camera lol.
I get really good writing ideas from my dreams. Once in my dream I even thought “ I need to write this down, this is a really good idea!” Can you imagine? I’m thankful for my weird and crazy dreams
@@ghost-fs7th tht would be quite an instresting human feature indeed lol
it's not that eerie, it's the music is making it's seem eerie
-o-.queen aa it’s actually kind of really cool I’m very interested in both dreaming and art so this is a little inspiring for me
ikr just because you put eerie music over it, it doesn't make the paintings eerie
If this woman masters lucid dreaming...
Yash Keni yep she would probably run through the whole entire Animal Kingdom in like 5 Seconds. I wish we were like at least a hundred more years in the future I think I'd be more comfortable.
Lucid dreaming is when you realize IN the dream, during your dream that you are actually dreaming.
Is lucid dreaming hard? I never had any problems controlling my actions in my dreams, just like life 😐
@@miumihp374 Since no one seems to have answered you, yes, door most people (including myself) it's difficult to control when we lucid dream.
@@miumihp374 i now almost master lucid dreaming just a little bit of control and i can get it. Tbh dreams are the things that i look out the most.
Her drawings remind me a bit of junji Ito and shintaro kago’s art. I dunno why but these kind of art feels genuine
Wilson not really, their art is more brutal and emotional in a fierce way. But hers has calmness in it (sorry for my english, hope you can understand it :p )
@@fatimallama5176 your English is actually really good 👍
Free space for artists? How wonderful. This would never happen in America.
Oh? So the informations from many friends (artists) from America are wrong?...
Tea Teresa Hsu I heard that San Fransisco was having free spaces for artists. This was bank in 2014 or 2015
Yeah all the artist spaces here in Sf are insanely expensive and have wait lists.
there are plenty of places of art in America. have you ever been
there are plenty of places of art in America. lol
It’s amazing that she has such detailed dreams
And that she can remember them.
I want to create one of these dream journals. I had a three week long "dream" when i was put into a medically induced coma last year. They had to put me under because my organs were shutting down due to a blood infection that i got from drug use. But in that dream I found my true self and what my future could be. I dreamt of travelling and getting back into creating art and healing relationships I had broken. I found my spirituality again through that dream that seemed so real. I looked up parts of the dream that i could remember while I was recovering in the hospital after this blissful experience and discovered that most of them stood for healing and starting a new life. I have been clean and sober since Feb 2019 because of it. I really should make something tangible out of it i suppose.
Congrats 💕
I once had a dream that this man fell in love with a very beautiful and mysterious woman. One night the man woke up and she wasn't sleeping next to him so he goes to find her and he finds her sitting at her vanity table. She was faceless. Every night her face would disappear and she would have to repaint it with black ink and once the ink seeps into her skin and veins her face forms again.
write a book, I’d buy it
This is beautiful
Wow, I wonder where you got the inspiration from?😶
Cool story
Wow :0
I have a Dream journal, I don’t use it. But here’s the thing:
I have really cool and weird dreams, but instead of writing them down, I tell it to either my friends at school and my parents. And I also recreate the my dream in my head and that way I never forget my dreams. And my friends always ask me if I had a new dream, cuz I’m telling ya, my dreams are hella weird and cool.
I do that too, I have a few dreams from my childhood that I re-encounter every once in a while. The first dream that I remember is a blue and purple blurry furry monster chasing me from my living room(my dads house) to my parents room. I hid under my crib and the monster could never reach me. I remember that dream so well, but I haven't dreamed it since I had my son. Does anyone here ever have prophetic dreams?
the exact same thing with me but except everyone kinda just gets annoyed lol
Mayra Gallegos I have a recurring dream about weird characters from books ive read as a child & I running from a flood in my elementary school lmao I know some people say dreams mean something but what? Haha
Lucy Vitek I have a similar problem except that when I start talking about one of my dreams my friends interrupt me & talk about their dreams ha what fun
My dreams are just weird,not cool too😁
Definitely not eerie, but also definitely aerie, dreamlike. Beautiful work Andrea Wan.
I think this may be my favorite episode! I love a good weirdo and this is just weird enough for me to appreciate. Heavily inspired by her, thanks cbc, you've stepped up your game.
I was having an art block but now I'm inspired :)
Fascinating dreams and paintings. =)
I enjoyed this episode. =)
The music wow. Her art wow. Everything wow
Dreams are a great source of inspiration and wonder. Dreams are underrated
Nature is the best art teacher.
A modern day surrealist artist. I really love your art.
Love her style. Perhaps I'll try to paint my dreams too. Last night I was swimming with a black rooster 😆
You are a genius. Your Art is the modern version of advanced surrealism.❤️👏👏👏👏
She's very talented.
A very elegant style of surrealism.
Wow! She is so talented!
different artworks from different people really interests me. it's like. .. mystery.
Wow... I love her paintings. It is sooo inspirational.
I dont find them scary,
I find them *beautiful*
yeah thats the point haha
I wish I could turn my dreams into painting but sadly I can’t remember them. I tried having a dream journal but it was left untouched because I could not remember anything about my dreams.
Watch matt d'avella 's video on lucid dreaming. If that doesn't work, try sleep paralysis. It's much scarier but it usually works.
To enter sleep paralysis just lie on your back, perfectly still. You must remain awake. Also, your body will send you signals like an itch or wanting to move, ignore them and stay still. After a while you will feel a pressure on your chest, and you won't be able to move at all. You may hear, smell or see things at this point (try to keep ur eyes closed though). Now you are in REM sleep, which means that with some practice you will be able to control your dreams.
I always wake up in the middle of my dreams, and I remember all of them after waking up everyday. It can be overwhelming.
Lucid dreaming.
Do you drink or smoke weed? These are blockers... if you stop/ dreams will return w abundance... your mind actually keeps tabs on your lack of rem sleep/ when you get back to normal state / dreams will flood in and be really intense for awhile and then level out again .. I know from experience
If im not mistake, in this world have 2 types certain people cant remember their dream like like total gone and certain people can remember their dream even a long dream they still remember.
But I wish that i have lucid dreams 😌
She's incredible
This is surrealism.,
Why do ppl always put ".," at the end of their comments?
right? nothing new. but it's nice though.
Such beautiful artworks she made
her work is beautiful! it gives off a melancholy vibe
Andrea has always been amazing.
I highly recommend everyone get into lucid dreaming. Its the most underrated skill in the world
What a sensitive and beautiful soul!
I one had a dream so detailed, realistic and eerie that it took me minutes after waking up to realize that it wasn't real. I have since then told it to multiple people, my friends and colleagues and it terrifies and haunts them.
Her work is so beautiful. I wish my dreams were so pretty. :)
I always had a huge admiration for artist who are creating art full time - this requires a huge commitment, courage and and yes, confident- so I am painting as a hobby aside from full time office job - you go girl, love the creative energy ❤️
I like her work. Certainly, if one can transfer images from their dreams into a work of art I'm sure the result will be surrealistic yet have some meaning (mostly to the dreamer).
awesome, I've had so many lucid dreams that I try to let vanish, but this inspires me to capture them more wholly and reinterpret their meaning to my waking life..thanks for the magic of art!!
My art inspiration comes from everyday objects dreams or my own art inspires me. I can just look at any thing or color pattern and turn it into art it’s like a blank canvas in my head create anything on it
She inspires me❤️
I can never remember my dreams, only my nightmares.
This why I don't paint or draw my nightmares. It's too hellish and painful to ponder. Instead, I only draw external subjects, like flowers for therapy.
The half asleep sketches are better than mine drawing when totally focused and fully awake
He so cutee... And this art, express most of your soul, mind, feels... Awesome that she knows speak 3 idioms...
Her work reminds me of Frida Kahlo meets Beatrix Potter!:-) 💜💗❤️
meet contemporary simplificated style
Andrea's work is amazing! I'll have to make my artist presentation about her
I've always wanted to bring my dreams in to life, like in a painting or a sketch but I do not have the knack of it. And it is true that the more you talk about your dreams, the more you remember them. I always tell my dream to the people around me but it is kinda sad how i can never precisely tell or explain it. I really hope I find a way too. You're so inspiring. I'm so glad to have discovered someone like you bring their dreams in the form of art. And Good luck! :)
A FREE SPACE FOR CREATIVES? GOTTA GO!
love her artwork!
This feels like surrealism and I love it.
I had an idea once after having a slightly scary dream: to make stories out of them. It was a very interesting dream and I was losing my motivation to write at the time so I tried to make a short one for practice.
I never finished them, though, since I tend to get carried away with world systems and such that I forget about everything :'D. But it was fun trying to figure the details.
Thank you.
So much talent and calming artistic inspiration.
I went to Berlin just before the berlin wall came down, it was a high school trip ..
Thank you, this was interesting & lovely.
I loved every single milli-second of that vid. I want so flip through her dream drawings. So fascinating
Really love the art and she is charismatic. Look forward to seeing more.
My dreams consist of me being impregnated by portraits, going to criminal school, and giant “Chinese” fish swimming into my car.
‘impregnated by portraits’
how,,?
i'm sorry i'm 2 years late but whaaat we dreamt the same thing ( not the exact but yea)! i also dreamt about huge chinese koi fish chasing after me, and then i drove a car to run away from it , I remember it soo clearly although i was in elementary atm
and in that dream, the huge koi was EATING their smaller koi friends, it was bloody and terrifying, and since that day on, I am disgusted with kois
Sorry but what is chinese fish?? Koi? Catfish? Arowana? Flower horn?
I often get mhrder mystery type of dream and those are weird. I wish i have beautiful dreams like Ghibli Movies
I like the fish part tho haha😂
I forget 90% of my dream when I wake up but anyway, she is so talented 😍😍😍
Beyond the subconscious draws a deep emotive duality. ....
Amazing!
I think I'm in love.
I absolutely love your paintings !!
Love your work, Andrea!
Love your art
While people call this eerie i see this as beautiful and tells you how limitless art is
this woman is amazing
Shes so amazing
Yesssss!!!!!
Thank you for such inspiration
Oml those paintings are beautiful
LIKE A ART MUSEUM
ColourFul DreamZ😍
I love to see drams on paintings
Fantastic! You're a wonderful artist.
Woah those are actually really good.
That’s cool ❤️ when I dream, they’re always like movies, even the nightmares,, they have a plot and all so I write them down when I wake up 😂 ig your dreams connect with what you like doing
I liked this story. Wonderful young lady. Some dreams have significant meanings. I too have dreams to paint on canvas. They are prophetic. The paintings of the animals and the one with the ghosts and insects worry me. I can interpret some dreams as I have learned to ask the heavenly for guidance to know the meaning. Thanks for a great video with meaning.
Thank god most people forget their dreams because there's nothing more boring than listening to someone tell you their dreams :)
I love her!
Just found this channel....
_LOVE_
_Subbed_
LOVE THIS! Thx so much! 💗🎨
very interesting
Wow I really love her art style its so unique and pretty but has humor to it as well and tells a story. ❤😀 would love to see more artworks of hers. Also subbed to this page! 😁
Amazing!!!!
wonderful!!
Lovely work
I’ve never dreamt this way. What world is she tapped into? Thank you 🙃
Her art is so goblin core
I've always wanted to draw my dreams but i can't draw that well and i can only draw when i have something to copy from..instead i write them in a notebook but now i gave up coz i cant describe some part of my dreams in words..😅 i have meaningful, spiritual, magical, and sometimes dark dreams..i can still remember some of them..🤔
I would like to try that
Are these paintings? They look like drawings to me. Lovely work, reminds me a lot of Réne Magritte and Salvador Dali
TALENT👏🏼👏🏼
My dreams are 100% thriller with a touch of horror. Its exhausting
Cool art
I journal too but can’t remember mine unless it’s. Lucid dreams.
Surrealism. I love it and want to dive deep into making some of my own! But is there really a market?
I my self have created my best pieces from my dreams ,I can see them perfectly but it doesn’t happen all the time 😔👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🌷
I wish I can draw my nightmares cause I have nightmares every night
hardlybreathe93 meditate 10 mins a day. Nightmares usually happens when I'm tired and I cant lucid dream
Just try, you might help get rid of the nightmares, even is it goes nowhere artistically
Why do you think she/he is complaining about having nightmares?
hardlybreathe93 I like nightmares, because they are like a horror movie that you "live"
You can draw them if you want
I'd consider her a modern day artist
