Vanessa and Andre
 

Andre and Vanessa (A&V) - are partners in life and in art.
They are creative people that often collaborate professionally, each contributing strong multidisciplinary artistic skills to commercial projects. A&V employ a wide range of techniques that are based on many years of experience. They have excelled in applying many materials in their artworks, and continue to experiment with new mediums. Their focus, however, is in the use of oil, as their output in this medium strongly demonstrates a high degree of mastery.

They are students of the classical Russian realistic school of Fine Arts. They work in simple, soft and clean brushstrokes that are characteristic of their productions. A&V adhere to the belief that artists should attract their audiences with ideas that are based on highly skilled craftsmanship and technique. Their paintings possess a beauty that involves your mind and heart. They display a masterly treatment of color and reflect the sensitivities and personalities of the artists.

Their themes, such as landscapes, portraits, figurative paints and still lifes, are taken from "real life" and from the world of fantasy. They are produced with faithful accuracy in details. Their paintings touch on eternal truths that, at first glance, are simple, accessible, and non-provocative. For the artists, each painting is an especially interesting visual experience that provides a new understanding of life's mysteries.
