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 England’s 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 Andrew’s 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 Andrew’s pieces were also auctioned off by
Sotheby’s 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.
