Born in Moldova but immigrated to Portugal. Artistic shyness kept him from publishing his work, instead hiding it from questioning and critical eyes. In this process, he found a fascination with digital decay. Later, after living near the Portuguese coast, Andrei took an interest in nature, specifically how people see it through a technological lens. One way he set out to do it was by using digital software to display nature without hiding the artificiality using color, file size and shapes.
