Andrei Remnev was born in 1962 in the town of Yakhroma near Moscow. In 1979 he entered the Moscow Art College in memory of 1905. 1986 became a student at the Moscow State Art Institute. V. Surikova, where he studied in the workshop of K. Tutevol and E. Maximov. In 1996, he studied icon painting under the guidance of the icon painter Fr. Vyacheslav (Savinykh) in the Moscow Spaso-Andronnikov Monastery, where he copied the best examples of Old Russian painting of the XV - XVII centuries. According to the artist himself, it was during this period that his own painting technique finally developed, which is based on a combination of the techniques of ancient Russian icon painting, 18th-century Russian painting, compositional finds of the “World of Art” and Russian constructivism. Like artists of the past, Remnev uses natural pigments worn on the yolk.

Andrey Remnev works in the traditional technique of multi-layer painting and combines the techniques of both European and Eastern art. In his paintings, deep space is combined with powerful decorativeness, a tense composition with subtle modeling of the form, and pure color relationships with restrained color.
