Andrey Khasanov was born in Petropavlovsk, that in the north of Kazakhstan.

After graduation in 1980, he entered the art faculty of the Omsk pedagogical Institute. It ends in 1985. Diploma work – a series of landscapes done with pastels, some of which were shown at the all-Union exhibition of diploma works of students of hudgrafa in Moscow. After service in army worked as a teacher in the Peter and Paul children's art school. At the same time starting an active creative and exhibition activities. Involved in many regional, Republican exhibitions, taking part in all-Union exhibition of watercolors in Moscow.

In 1992 he joined the Union of artists. Since the early 90-ies of A. Khasanov pays more attention to quality content works. Hard work on "non-linear" imagery in the paintings. Complicated composite solutions, enhancing the dynamism of the plastic builds. Color complicates the work, making the colors more deep, working on the subtle shades and nuances of color. Here grinds and brings in new quality pattern and technique in General, achieving high "perceptions" of paintings, the plasticity of forms, filigree subtlety and grace.

Interestingly also that Andrey Khasanova's creativity organically develops in two basic directions is characteristic.

  • First, deeply realistic – mainly landscape, painted in oil very accurately. The physicality of depth and space in the landscape compelling to tangibility. No conventions and nedorabotannost. The composition and depth of the images are of nature – in the best traditions of Russian landscape school.
  • The second area konstruktivnye and mnohosmyslov, unexpectedly twisted of form and space with varying degrees of conditionality. Often with elements of the figurative, recognizable images, symbols or "shaped associativity". And sometimes it's just a plastic abstraction (very lively and dynamic, complex in form and color) down to irrelevance. In these works, the artist aims or Express certain feeling-state or to pass through the plastic and colors their impression of some phenomenon or action.

But, as a rule, A. Khasanov combines in a fantastic way, both real and unreal, known and abstract, concrete form and vanishing illusions and fleeting visions. The artist creates a second convoluted reality, sometimes in contact with the true, and sometimes completely separated from it. It's like barely half-closed door into a different semantic space in which everyone can find something consonant to their feelings, feelings, impressions.
