Andre Nicolas is a dynamic and visionary Multi-Disciplinary artist and serial entrepreneur from Newark, NJ. Born to First Generation Haitian Parents, Andre's passion for the Arts was ignited at the tender age of five when his Father, a skilled Anthropologist, and artist, gifted him his first Spiderman comic book. From that moment, Andre was captivated by the colors, stories, and SciFi elements in the comic book, which left a lasting impression on his creative journey.
As an AfroFuture artist, Andre's work reflects his desire to challenge marginalization and envision a world where African Americans are represented in the future. He uses a mixed-medium approach, combining charcoal, reclaimed wood, metal, acrylic, oils, spray paint, and fabric to create stunning pieces of art that evoke a sense of individuality and poetic beauty. In addition, Andre's commitment to upcycling reclaimed objects and using vibrant colors sourced from his organic fruit import business in Brazil further adds to the unique and sustainable nature of his art.
Andre graduated from Saint Peters College, earning a BA in Visual Arts. Currently, he works as an in-studio artist in Jersey City, NJ, where he continues to explore the infinite possibilities of mixed media. When he's not creating art, Andre is also a Superfood Supplier, importing organic fruits from Brazil to promote healthy living and sustainability. Through his art and business ventures, Andre seeks to inspire others to explore their creativity, embrace sustainability, and reimagine the future.
