Andres is a figurative painter based in York, England. Andres was born in Argentina in 1970. After working as a piano teacher for many years, he decided to turn his lifelong passion for drawing and painting into a career. His main interests are portraiture and the human form, memory, and conflict.

In August 2014, Andres completed his MA in Creative Practice with distinction at Leeds College of Art. His master’s project was a series of paintings whose themes embodied Argentina’s last dictatorship.

In October 2014, Andres took part in the MA inaugural exhibition at Leeds Gallery. Shortly after, his painting “Madres” won the Yorkshire Art Journal cover competition.

Andres worked as an associate lecturer at Leeds College of Art until 2016. Following this position, Andres opened “Corner Studio”, where he teaches painting and drawing in York and Harrogate.
