Andre Pater is certainly living the American dream. Upon graduating Summa Cum Laude, in architecture, from the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts, Pater came to New York. Shortly after his arrival in the United States, Pater moved to Dallas and worked as a designer for an architectural firm. Poland has a strong Arabian horse breeding tradition and Pater had drawn and painted the breed for years. As a result, he was drawn to the Arabian horse world in Texas and soon returned to the work that always fed his soul — painting. Upon moving to Kentucky in 1988, his focus shifted from Arabian Horses to Thoroughbreds. Being enthralled and embraced by the Thoroughbred racing world, Pater also discovered the ‘Sporting Life’. He began to depict racing, fox hunting, sporting dogs, cattle, and wildlife. Andre’s paintings and drawings speak for his artistic skill, inventiveness, and originality. Through his Zen-like observations he finds the essence of his subjects, and brings life to his work. His style ranges from detailed realism to action-filled, blurred images, which express the emotion of equine sports.
