Andrey Anisimov paints a symphony of brilliant colors. He draws inspiration from various pieces of classical music, such as Bach, Orff, Ravel, Stravinsky, Berloiz and Mahler. His new way of building the rhythm within the painting takes spectators to the point where his visual artwork appeals directly to their senses and makes an impact similar to the music.
Last year his career was marked by a sell-out show in Santa Fe, New Mexico during the opening of the Santa Fe Symphony's 2001 Season. Their choice of Andrey Anisimovís work for representation on posters, publications and merchandise has been a very successful collaboration; the poster alone has sold more copies than any other in their sixteen year history.
Anisimov studied Fine Arts in his native Russia, developing a passion for this rich tradition, which is easily recognized in his skilled artistry. Besides earning a master of Fine Arts degree from the School of Graphic Design in Moscow, he also studied in the tradition of medieval craftsman’s guilds to learn the authentic techniques of multiple forms of expression.
Andrey has worked in theater and publishing in Moscow, and now practices his art in San Francisco, where he maintains his studio. This is where he developed his current style by combining both traditional and modern techniques.
His meticulously crafted works have been displayed worldwide and are included in many museums and private collections.

“Anisimov's latest work is architectural, comprising geometric shapes in pure, vibrant colors against a color background with lots of texture, almost orchestral. Amazingly the effect of viewing his paintings is very much like listening to music.
"I listen to music when I paint," Anisimov said. "The first time I responded in this way to music was listening to music by Cesar Franck. After that came works by Beethoven (Symphony No. 7 and Violin Concerto), Berlioz (Symphonie Fantastique), Carl Orff (Carmina Burana).”
