Born in the city of Zhigulevsk, he began his creative journey there, held his first exhibitions, and founded the union of modernist artists. He currently lives and works in Moscow.
He has been engaged in painting since 1990. A surrealist by vocation, he enrolled in the Samara Aerospace Academy but soon realized that his passion for painting was lifelong. He studied by copying Russian painting classics of the 19th century and European surrealists of the 20th century. While studying the artistic techniques of the incomparable Salvador Dalí, he gradually found his own creative method – Philosophical Surrealism.
Alongside the works of Salvador Dalí (with the great Spaniard, Andrey shares a whimsical story of distant kinship), the artist is inspired by the works of Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges and his concept of the multiverse interpretation, the existence of parallel worlds, and the possibility of intertwining timelines. Philosophical Surrealism is a combination of graceful elegant forms, each of which is a legible sign, a symbol. Thus, any painting can be read like a story. Symbols are sometimes easily recognizable, and sometimes have many interpretations, leading the viewer into a mysterious labyrinth, similar to the one described in Borges’ story “The Garden of Forking Paths.”
From 1992 to the present, he has participated in and organized more than 20 major exhibitions and events in the cities of Moscow, Figueres (Spain), Canary Islands (Spain), Marbella (Spain), Paris, Hamburg, Zhigulevsk, Neftegorsk, Tolyatti, Naberezhnye Chelny, Nizhny Novgorod, Sochi, and Cheboksary.
