Andrew Atroshenko was born in 1965 in the City of Pokrovsk, Russia, and became part of a gifted child program at the Children’s Art School there. Later he was accepted at the St. Petersburg Academy of Art, one of the world’s most prestigious art schools.

In 1999, Andrew spent the entire year in the U.S. He was invited by “Bay Arts,” a New England-based group, to take part in their exhibitions and activities.

“The year in America gave me more as an artist than all eight years of my formal studies,” Andrew says. After seeing Royo and Pino at Art Expo 2000 in New York, he chose the direction his art would take.

Since then, Andrew Atroshenko has worked with dealers from Western Europe and the U.S., exhibiting and selling his paintings at galleries in Carmel, Scottsdale, Palm Desert, Las Vegas, Hawaii and Oregon.
