Andrew Kinsman: if a person is talented, then he is talented in everything.

But that so, as Andrew Kinsman (Аndrew Kinsman), happens seldom. In one of his creative personality, the conceptual artist and the virtuoso saxophonist coexist organically. In confirmation of the second talent, it is enough to recall his joint tour with the band Kasabian, the legendary British rock band. They are called bright followers of the Rolling Stones and they are also the favorite musical accompaniment for bodybuilding in the very governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

But Andrew began to paint earlier than playing music. This happened in 10 years, and it began right away with oil painting. And he sold his first work of fine art in just two years. And he remained self-taught, perhaps, for good. Graduated Cambridge University has nothing to do with painting. Then, as a child, he got acquainted with the work of great artists who became his teachers for life: Caravaggio, Velasquez and Rembrandt. Of course, their world-famous names sound too loud, but Kinsman believes that any contemporary artist needs a true master as a benchmark, whose work was created in the light of the sun or candles, without the use of computer graphics and a digital camera. Just do not make them an example for imitation, only a source of inspiration - nothing more.

It's hard to believe, but Andrew Kinsman once left the creation of paintings for a long twenty-five years. The reason for this was the banal lack of time. I had to combine work at the plant, studying in Cambridge and performing music. He left it to himself, and not painting, just because he traveled with concerts throughout the UK, and this activity also brought in income. Eight years ago, the artist finally managed to return the brush in his hands. The result did not take long to wait: since 2006 the portraits created by him annually win prestigious prizes. What can I say - natural talents can not be hidden for a long time.
