Andre has
always been immersed in art.
Designing and working with wood, metal, clay and stone, carving and
sculpting as well as painting. His
painting process is an intuitive search for shape, form, gesture or event
unique to each piece. In historical context, the work focuses
on the individual and how social issues influence thinking and
behavior. The themes of his work
comprise psychological and philosophical commentaries, which grew out of a
curiosity with the way people interact.
At a young age, I would be intrigued by a duality in people and
their ability to abruptly shift attitudes. In the content of the work, one can find human and sculptural
figures placed in interactive situations, represented realistically and
abstractly. To me, sculpture has
innate human attributes which are explored in the process of making a
statement about our understanding and communication.
