Andrew Soria's vibrant artwork boldly captures the essence of urban juxtaposition, blending elements of nostalgia and modernity within a single frame. Bold, brash, and bursting with color, each piece showcases a chaotic cityscape dominated by a multitude of commercial signs, billboards, and neon lights, each clamoring for attention. Through his lens, he seeks to uncover the rich history and heritage of a place, paying tribute to its iconic landmarks in a surreal photomontage format. His creations evoke a sense of nostalgia in viewers, transporting them to familiar yet dreamlike settings where reality intertwines with imagination.

His body of work has been exhibited in various cities, including Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Baton Rouge, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Paris, Toronto, Berlin, and South Korea, and featured in several publications: Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, Plastik, Assouline, and more, cementing his status as a distinguished artist in the contemporary art scene. His series "Welcome to the Neighborhood" stands as a testament to his artistic vision, offering viewers a unique perspective on city habitats through hyperrealistic architectural compositions. In his series “Beverly Row, “ Soria navigates the blurred lines between societal classes and confronts issues such as wealth, luxury, and the growing problem of homelessness. Additionally, his "Faded America" series prompts contemplation on societal norms and cultural symbols through the central motif of a colossal assembly of signs, representing different facets of urban life – commerce, entertainment, vice, and livelihood – all stacked and layered in disarray.  He invites his audience to ponder the deeper meanings behind everyday imagery. His surrealist photo collages serve as a compelling commentary on the complexities of human existence, inviting viewers to explore the hidden recesses of our collective consciousness.

“Soria’s colorful city collages offset his own photography with a heavy dose of Photoshop, creating overwhelming cityscapes that speak to our never-ending search of perfection. While the skyscrapers and pawn shops found in his work may have a cartoonish quality, they attempt to reflect a very real longing on the part of the city’s unseen inhabitants. Soria’s skylines and underpasses overflow and use the cityscape as a stand-in for the individual in constructing a metaphor for our desire to fill the holes we see within ourselves.”
