Andrei Krioukov

Andrei Krioukov was born in Moscow/RUS in 1959. Krioukov studied at the Moscow Art School with a focus on painting and art teaching. He then studied at the Moscow State Art Academy and graduated in 1987 with a degree in graphic design. Since 2003 he has been active in Germany with his school for fine arts and design in Berlin.

Krioukov's works show a close connection between art and real life. The concept of 'disposable realism' that he addresses becomes visible in his painterly implementation. Through his art, objects from everyday life become a mirror for the viewer, a call to self-reflection on one's own consumer behavior.

His works are in private and public collections in Russia, the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Greece. Particularly noteworthy is his inclusion in the collection of the Russian Academy of Arts, Moscow.
