According to Andrew, This year in America gave
me more as an artist than all eight years of my
formal studies in the prestigious Russian
academies. I am a descendent of farmers, and I
was impressed by the New Englands landscapes,
and how a man in America avoids harming its
environment. After seeing Royo and Pino at
Art-Expo New York 2000, I suddenly realized what
direction I want to take my art in. After staying
for a year in the United States, I spent two
years in Russia perfecting my art. "
While Andrews work was being sold successfully
in galleries across Florida, California, Ohio and
Arizona, the artist was taking part in a variety
of group exhibitions and auctions in France,
which resulted in all of his work being sold out.
Since 2000, Andrew has worked with dealers from
Western Europe and the US, exhibiting and selling
his paintings in such US cities as Carmel ,
Scottsdale, Palm Desert, Las Vegas Hawaii. Two
of Andrews pieces were also auctioned off by
Sothebys in 2002 and 2003.
In 1992 Andrew married a fellow student, Maria,
who is now an art critic in St Petersburg,
Russia, and has a daughter named Alexandra. Like
many artists, Andrew has his artistic references
and influences, but his wife and daughter are the
inspiration for his passion.
