PAINTERS | SCULPTORS | JEWELERS | FINE ART PRINTS | RE-SALES

In 2005 Andre was invited to study figure painting along with eleven other students at the exclusive Studio Escalier located in an 18th C. chateau in a small village in France. This experience has greatly influenced his new work .

He expressed this life changing experience this way: " I was in love with and, a few weeks later addicted to, the search for the path of the human figure’s lines and form. While studying fine art at Moscow University, where I was trained classically, the whole approach to drawing the human figure was introduced to me as a more strict and mathematical exercise. The philosophy of Tim Stotz's teaching on the human figure, however, has an enormous metaphorical and symbolic power with a deep poetic outline. He helps his students learn to ‘feel’ the body with intuition. Tim inspires his students to a quick realization that we are here to grow together and individually towards our most beloved passion - searching, interpreting, creating, and immortalizing the human figure."

Without depicting life literally, I seek a poetic interpretation of a moment involving the human figure in its infinite variety of gesture and action.
