His work is in the public collections
of the US Coast Guard, DC Commission on Arts and Humanities, Museum of Florida's Art and Culture, Virginia Historical

Andrei's work is unique in that he is a true plein-air painter, he carries no camera
or drawing equipment, His gift is to absorb and express what is happening in the moment, at the place. He paints with
a unique intensity. This ability to focus is what gives his paintings a sense of shared experience.
