Andrey has served as an artis­tic guide and facil­i­ta­tor for over 20 years, teach­ing and lead­ing groups on

cre­ative jour­neys and col­lab­o­ra­tive explo­rations. As founder and direc­tor of Nandi School of Art in the

New York Met­ro­pol­i­tan Area and Vis­tan­uova Art Retreats in Italy he brought hun­dreds of peo­ple of all ages

in touch with their cre­ativ­ity. He has guided numer­ous work­shops bring­ing together artists and musicians,

dancers and film­mak­ers in exploratory cel­e­bra­tions of the cre­ative spirit.

Andrey’s car­ing, com­mit­ted and open-hearted approach serves as a con­nec­tive tis­sue between you and

your cre­ative poten­tial. Rec­og­niz­ing it intu­itively and address­ing it directly, he will cajole and entice

your artis­tic self out of its hid­ing place.

“Andrey has a unique way of men­tor­ing: he knows
how to meet peo­ple wher­ever they are -
begin­ners, advanced — it does not mat­ter.
Because it’s not just about paint­ing,
it is about explor­ing who you are as an inner realm.”

Robert Raevsky — artist, illus­tra­tor, gallery owner.
“Andrey is a teacher of cre­ativ­ity. The energy
and cre­ativ­ity that are in him and his desire
to share it with you are absolutely
con­ta­gious and unique.
I have never seen it in any­body else.
And that ‘s what makes him a great teacher.”

Mar­cus Dervin,
“As a result of study­ing with Andrey the way I see things
has been trans­formed. As I look at the trees gen­tly blow­ing
in the wind it is like I see what is really going on
under­neath their skin: I see what moves them, what makes them alive.”
