Andrey Remnev (1962-)

Andrey Remnev was born in Yachroma, Moscow. He most identifies himself with the 19th century period of Russian Art History. After his training at the Moscow Art School, he spent years with Brother Viachelslav Savinyh, the master icon painter of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery. He perfected the traditional tempera technique of icon painting with the goal to use it for his own personal paintings. Remnev developed into a unique, inimitable artist who has arrived at an altogether personal expression.
