Meet Andressa Robles | Actress

We had the good fortune of connecting with Andressa Robles and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andressa, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
My career as an actress has been an inspired by the rich tapestry of cultures and experiences that I’ve encountered across the world. From my roots in Brazil to studying in the artistic hub of Paris and now residing in the diverse landscape of the United States, each phase has contributed to my growth and inspiration in unique ways.

Growing up as an actress in Brazil, I was exposed to the vibrant energy and storytelling traditions that are inherent in the country’s culture. The passion, emotion, and sheer dynamism that permeate Brazilian arts fueled my desire to bring characters to life on stage and screen. This foundation instilled in me a deep appreciation for the power of cultural context in shaping narratives and performances.

Studying acting in Paris further expanded my horizons. The city’s legacy of artistic excellence and its melting pot of creativity provided me with a global perspective on the craft. Immersed in the heart of a city that has nurtured countless legendary artists, I honed my skills while simultaneously imbibing the richness of French culture. This exposure showed me how an actor’s interpretation can be influenced by the cultural nuances of a given region, creating an intricate interplay between the performer, the character, and the audience.

Now residing in the United States, I find myself amidst a kaleidoscope of cultures and voices. The diversity of the American landscape, both in terms of people and stories, serves as a constant source of inspiration. I’ve embraced this journey with an open heart, eager to absorb the myriad influences that surround me. The fact that I can communicate fluently in four languages adds an extra layer of connection, allowing me to engage more deeply with the tapestry of human experience.

Traversing the globe and experiencing these diverse cultural spheres has gifted me with a heightened ability to empathize with characters from various backgrounds. It has taught me that the essence of acting goes beyond lines and gestures – it’s about understanding the intricate threads that weave the fabric of human emotion and behavior.

In essence, my career has been illuminated by the fusion of these different cultures and my ability to bridge the gaps between them. I draw inspiration from the universal elements that connect us all, while cherishing the distinctiveness that each culture brings to the table. Through my journey as an actress, I’m not only telling stories; I’m embodying the essence of shared human experiences and allowing the beauty of diversity to shine through each performance.

Ever since I embarked on a journey to explore my inner self, I’ve experienced an insatiable thirst for art and self-expression that has transformed me in profound ways. This thirst has driven me to chase my dreams, study languages, explore the world, and expand my imagination.
I had the privilege of playing a critical role in the Emmy-nominated television series, “One Against All.” Being part of a project that garnered such prestigious recognition was both exhilarating and humbling.

After that, I embarked on a new and exciting challenge by joining the cast of the soap opera “Salve-se Quem Puder.” In this project, I portrayed an Olympic gymnast athlete—a character that required a deep dive into the world of sports. It was a role that pushed me out of my comfort zone and demanded an intense transformation.

The experience of delving into the world of sports and gymnastics was transformative. It forced me to reevaluate my own limits, push past boundaries, and discover new facets of my own capabilities. The process of preparing for the role became a profound journey of self-discovery.

Throughout this transformation, one thing remained constant—the unwavering focus on my craft. The challenges I faced, both in changing my lifestyle and embracing a character from a completely different world, only strengthened my commitment to my work as an actor.

From the Emmy-nominated series to feature films and the world of soap operas, I have relished every opportunity to bring characters to life on screen. Each role has taught me something new about the craft of acting, about myself, and about the world of storytelling.
As I continue to evolve as an actor, I look forward to embracing more challenges, pushing boundaries, and exploring the endless possibilities that the world of entertainment has to offer. It’s a journey I embark upon with passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to the art of storytelling.

As I continue on this path of artistic exploration and self-discovery, I eagerly anticipate the new adventures, challenges, and inspirations that await me. Each day is a canvas waiting to be painted, and I approach it with an open heart, a curious mind, and a profound appreciation for the transformative power of art and self-discovery.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Among all the places I’ve had the privilege to visit, Hawaii stands as my absolute favorite. It’s not just a destination; it’s an extraordinary experience that left an indelible mark on my heart. My journey through the Hawaiian islands was nothing short of magical, and it’s a place I hold dear in my heart.

Hawaii welcomed me with open arms and a warmth that I had never encountered before. It was there that I had the pleasure of meeting a vibrant community of artists who embraced me as one of their own. This sense of belonging made me feel at home in a place thousands of miles away from my own. Together, we shared our passion for creativity and forged bonds that continue to enrich my life.

As a nature lover, Hawaii spoke to my soul in ways words can barely describe. The islands are a testament to the breathtaking beauty of Mother Earth. The lush forests, pristine beaches, and meandering rivers create a harmonious tapestry that is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Each day felt like a journey of exploration and discovery as I immersed myself in the natural wonders of Hawaii.

One of the joys of Hawaii is the opportunity to explore its diverse islands. Each island has its unique charm and character. Whether you’re on the Big Island, Oahu, Maui, Kauai, or any of the smaller islands, there’s something special to discover. From the vibrant culture to the stunning landscapes, every island adds a new dimension to the Hawaiian experience.

One of my fondest memories of Hawaii is indulging in the flavors of the local fruit stalls. The exotic fruits bursting with flavors, like pineapple, papaya, and coconut, are a true delight for the taste buds. And when it comes to engaging with the locals, you’ll find that the people of Hawaii are incredibly welcoming. Strike up a conversation with someone on the street, and you’ll soon find yourself immersed in captivating stories and heartfelt conversations.

But perhaps what struck me most about Hawaii was the pervasive sense of love that seemed to permeate every corner of the islands. It was a feeling of unconditional acceptance and aloha spirit that made me feel like I had found a place where love was the currency of the land.

If I were to plan a future trip, there’s no doubt in my mind that I would bring a dear friend along to share in this enchanting experience. I would want them to witness the beauty of Hawaii, immerse themselves in the culture, taste the fruits, and meet the incredible people who call these islands home.

Hawaii is not just a destination; it’s a place that captures the heart and soul. It’s a reminder of the beauty of our world and the profound connections we can make with others. It’s a place where love and nature intertwine to create a paradise unlike any other. Hawaii, with its art, nature, and love, holds a special place in my heart, and I look forward to returning to its embrace someday.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron is a transformative book that has had a profound impact on my creative journey. It introduced me to a simple yet powerful practice called “Morning Pages,” which not only helped me remember my way of creativity but also brought me closer to my inner artist.

Morning Pages are a daily ritual that involves writing three pages of stream-of-consciousness thoughts first thing in the morning. They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind, and the key is that they are for your eyes only. This practice serves as a creative exercise to clear the mental clutter and make space for creativity to flow freely.

As I began incorporating Morning Pages into my daily routine, I experienced a remarkable shift in my creative process. Here’s how “The Artist’s Way” and Morning Pages helped me reconnect with my creativity: Provoking Creativity, Clarifying Thoughts, Synchronizing the Day. Writing Morning Pages in the morning served as a powerful way to set the tone for the day. It allowed me to start each day with intention, positivity, and a sense of purpose, which greatly influenced the quality and direction of my creative work.

“The Artist’s Way” method, with its emphasis on Morning Pages, made me feel deeply connected to my thoughts and emotions. It awakened a dormant creativity within me and helped me bridge the gap between my artistic aspirations and my daily life. Through this practice, I not only rekindled my artistic spirit but also had a daily meeting with my inner artist, nurturing it and allowing it to thrive. They have been a source of inspiration, self-discovery, and empowerment. I am grateful for Julia Cameron’s guidance, as it has rekindled my passion for creativity and allowed me to forge a stronger connection with my inner artist.
