Introduction, about the Artist    
   


We draw your attention to the work of the artist Andrey Efi.
Andrey Efi’s art is diverse and is not limited to pictures, and it is really interesting …
He fulfills his creative potential as an artist-painter, an illustrator of books; and an art theorist...
He is not only interested by modern forms of art, he creates them himself - installations, actions and performances.

He organized and curated several exhibitions and art festivals.
In adolescence he had a great interest in poetry and literature - therefore in his works verse and prose are present.
He makes his own movies.
He teaches others.
Pictures of the painter are in the collection of the state Russian Museum in Saint-Petersburg

About this and much more you will learn from this site.

It is worthwhile to say a little bit about the studio of artist.
Not long ago it became clear that his studio is a historical place.
If one believes Fyodor Dostoyevskys descriptions in the novel "Crime and Punishment " and other historical facts, then it is clear that the place used to be the dwelling of the old woman (junk dealer), and here Raskolnikov did his bloody deed.

For mystical people this fact is certainly a ‘Sign’.
It would seem that this "aura" should effect the artist, but we are of the opinion that Andrey has changed all the "black formation and dark forces" into a "plus sign", and we spectators see the paintings of an artist with a philosophy of good kinds, twinkling colours and the light of life.
