“There are things given not by earthly skills by some invisible force. Time passes by – and you are surprised: ‘Was that you who made it, or not?’

Aleksei And’s plotline is dissolved in high spirituality. I think that the plot is illustration. And concerning spirituality – it is the highest manifestation, and not everyone could succeed in creating in that manifestation.

I know Aleksei And well, as a professional, as a master – a master of drawing, a master of painting and composition. Elements of professionalism as craft disappear in his creative works – and real art begins. That’s what Aleksei And – my favorite pupil – possesses”.
