Artist Biography: Manaylo (born in Uzhgorod, Subcarpathia, Ukraine) is a third generation Ruthenian painter from a dynasty of successful artists. His grandfather, Fedor Manaylo - the National Artist of Ukraine and one of the founding fathers of the Trans-Carpathian school of fine arts along with his father Ivan, played an outstanding role in the history of fine arts in this historic region. Andrew was not only trained by his “family school,” but also at prestigious institutions as the Lviv Academy of Fine Arts (Ukraine) and the St. Petersburg Repin Academy of Fine Arts (Russia) - where he was able to expand his spirit of artistic professionalism and carry on a family tradition with a contemporary approach.

His broad education allows him to encompass and combine the traditional and optimistic palette central to the Trans-Carpathian school of fine arts, the constructional laconism which is a characteristic feature of the Lviv artistic environment, and the academic precision for which the Russian Petersburg School is famous. The importance of this style of art is without measure as the Ruthenians are a small people without any statehood and constantly threatened by assimilation and in danger of disappearing for good. They are scattered all over the world, but the bulk still live in the center of Europe at the base of the beautiful Carpathians. There are approximately 1.5 million Ruthenians in Europe today.
