André Schulze

André Schulze (1982) is an artist and painting conservator from Dresden, Germany who specializes in the restoration and remodeling of old paintings. He studied fine arts and
graduated with diploma in his hometown Dresden/Germany in 2011. André Schulze invites viewers on a fascinating journey through art history and contemporary reinterpretation. His works reimagine iconic images with irony and precision. An insightful nod to the digital age and the mythologization of old masters. Alongside his globally sought-after pixelated bouquets, which have fetched high prices at auctions, Schulze presents historical paintings that he meticulously reworks, giving them new meaning and bringing them into the present.

André uses old original paintings from private collectors, antique and thrift stores. He thoroughly restores the often badly damaged old paintings, before he is painting them with his art. Through the restoration of the artworks and his modern interpretation, he is seeing his work as a second life for forgotten artworks and make them accessible to the public. In his art he tries to treat the paintings with respect and not to destroy them. He wants to enrich the paintings with his art and associate them with our present time.
