AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"Rembrandt Special II" was featured in the International Artist Magazine, edition 166, as a 6 page master pastel demonstration. André Rios was also the main cover of the magazine.
About the artist:
André is a Portuguese award winning artist currently based in the Netherlands, where he established his art studio—creating original works, commissioned pieces, and teaching his pastel techniques.
From an early age, André felt a profound connection to art. Living in the Netherlands—a country deeply rooted in artistic tradition and creative culture—has allowed him to fully dedicate himself to his practice and to share his knowledge through teaching.
His artistic journey began with a focus on realistic drawing, laying the foundation for a strong technical approach. Over time, he began to explore new visual languages, leading to the development of the in|square series—an experimental body of work in which geometric distortions introduced a sense of fragmentation and disconnection. This exploration opened new conceptual possibilities, which now inform his current direction.
André is currently working on a new series of hyperrealistic drawings that adopt a minimalist approach. These upcoming pieces distill objects to their essential presence, offering understated, quiet narratives that reflect on value, perception, and meaning.
