I see - I don 't see (2020) Картина - Andrei Kokarev

My name is Andrey. Was born in 1969. I live and work in Voronezh, Russia . I started drawing since childhood . My father was an architect and an excellent master of watercolors . In many ways , he gave me an interest in visual culture . At first I studied drawing at a special art school (4 years )  .Then he graduated from the Voronezh Art College (4 years ) . Later he completed private restoration training at the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Since 1998, I have been working as a restorer of easel tempera paintings. I teach restoration at a theological school. At the same time, I am a passionate artist.
I have collaborated with galleries, I have exhibited and sold my works. My artistic preferences were formed in a long-standing and great love for the art of the old masters. Much of my inspiration as a source lies in old European art. This is partly due to the necessity to know the old painting techniques utilized by me in the restoration.
I love old European art. I rely on it in many ways . But today we feel the need, having a graft of classics, to think through the eyes of today. To see the world taking into account all the rich cultural and artistic experience, but still through the eyes of a modern person. Thus some of thr works you see have open quotations to the classic art. There is also a lot of searching for the plastic beauty of today's new eyes, already tainted by modern and postmodern. In my works, I am busy searching for my beauty. Inspired by the beauty of the world so exciting and vibrant.
