"I saw the first paintings before I could even walk and communicated with professional painters even before I learnt to talk.
What else could I have become, if not an artist !" (Andrey Demin)
Born in 1962 into the family of a famous Russian artist, Leonid Demin, Andrey Demin was sent as a ten year old to art school where, surrounded by more experienced artists, he worked mainly on still life paintings.
This experience influenced Demin’s work right from the start. As he says himself, ‘I saw my first paintings even before I could walk. I communicated with professional painters even before I learnt to talk. What else could I have become, if not an artist?’ Now widely exhibited, Demin began displaying his work in Medici Gallery in Mayfair, London, in the late 1990s. His travels across the U.K., Russia, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland have influenced his landscape painting. He is particularly inspired by the beauty of the British and Irish landscape. As befits an artist trained in the traditional Russian Impressionist style, his canvases are swathed in light. The misty colours of picturesque countryside lend themselves perfectly to Demin’s atmospheric depictions of nature. These serene landscapes have a wistful air of innocence.
That these beautiful paintings are straight-forward and extremely well-painted perhaps contributes to Demin’s success - his paintings are widely exhibited and collected, both within the UK and internationally.
