Artist Statement:
Hello, my name is Andrei Sitsko, and I was born in 1966. After graduating from the Academy of Arts USSR in Minsk, I began to work full time as an artist. At first I painted photo-realistic paintings on a complex multi-layered texture, but over time, I developed a real passion for color, and this is now the main focus of my work. Throughout my artistic career I've exhibited widely in Europe in both group and solo shows. My work can be found in private collections around the world from Europe & US, to the United Arab Emirates and China. I really love color and vitality in painting, and here I can live out all my creative fantasies and ideas. I work full time as an artist and I'm happy about it.
It is important for me as an artist to have energy, intensity and movement translate onto the canvas which is deeply personal for my self-expression.
"…I give more and more importance to the cleanliness of my brush stroke and I try to fill it with maximum intensity…”
“… Right now I simply say I paint like that because this method provides the lightest and most beautiful effect… and I like to paint like that…"
Paul Signac.
