Andrew Atroshenko was born in 1965 in Pokrovsk, Russia. He graduated, with honors, from the Children’s Art School in 1981 and was later accepted at one of the most prestigious art schools in the world - the St. Petersburg Academy of Art.

After graduation, he spent an entire year in the United States...returning to Russia to perfect his art before reentering the U.S. art scene.

Since 2000, Andrew has worked with dealers from Western Europe and the U.S., exhibiting and selling his paintings in Carmel, Scottsdale, Palm Desert, Las Vegas & Hawaii. Two of Andrew’s pieces were also auctioned off by Sotheby’s in 2002 and 2003.

In 1992, Andrew married fellow student, Maria, who is now an art critic in St Petersburg, Russia. They have a daughter, Alexandra. Like many artists, Andrew has his artistic references and influences, but his wife and daughter are the inspiration for his passion.
