Andre Reynaldo Lucero

An oil painter whose work is primarily composed of plein air landscapes, still life and figurative paintings done from life, Andre Lucero lives and maintains a studio in Richmond, Virginia. He combines draftsmanship of the Academic School with the Impressionists' advances in color and brushwork, capturing the drama and beauty of common places and objects.

He says of his work, "Painting is my passion. I was trained in a more traditional academic setting receiving a BFA, cum laude degree in 1989, and soon after built a successful career producing numerous award winning illustrations for many national publications." In recent years, Andre has rededicated himself to his painting career combining his love of the outdoors with his art. He says, "It is most exciting attempting to capture on the spot the way light falls on a beautiful scene or a fleeting aspect of nature."
