About me

Andoz Krishnadas is an Indian born/German visual artist based between Frankfurt am Main, Bielsko-Biała and Chennai. Having traveled and worked in 83 countries his work is deeply rooted in diversity and is linked to the microcosm of collective human memory. He is visually influenced by abroad range of political, scientific, cultural, religious and philosophical allusions from the Bhagavad-Gita & the Upanishads, the Old & New Testaments, the epics of Gilgamesh, the poems of Jalal al-Din Rumi, Norse, Greek & Egyptian mythology and the secret histories migrations and fables from Cartage to the Mongolian steppes.

Born in the late 80s, his childhood was influenced greatly by the fall of the Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany and the liberalization of the Indian Economy and grew up amidst the contagious optimism of the 90s and the early 00s.

2004 would bring the Indian Ocean Tsunami and with it an awareness to the disastrous effects of climate change. Choosing however to live by Gandini's Maxim to be the change one wishes to see in the world, Andoz Krishnadas took up architecture with a focus on sustainability at HCE Anna University, Chennai, India and would receive his B. Arch with honors in 2012.

During his tenure at the university, he would facilitate the design and construction of sustainable tsunami Relief shelters in India and the Philippines a model, he would replicate in while working with the UN to rebuild communities in Sri Lanka, displaced by the Civil war.

He would later work in Turin, Italy and Cannes, France before pursuing his master's at Städelschule (Hochschule für Bildende Künste-Städelschule), Frankfurt Germany. It was during his studies in 2014 at the Städelschule that an image he took of his collective architectural project would win the Frankfurter Neue Presse Luminale Photo prize and begin the merging of his two arts.
