Andrej Glusgold was born in Chisinau/Moldova (former USSR) into a creative family. In 1981 he emigrated with his parents to a little town in Germany. After graduating from the University of the Arts Bremen in 1996, and a short stay in Paris, Andrej Glusgold moved to Berlin, where he worked as a portrait and fashion photographer for international publications. In 2011 he became a professor of photography at UE – University of Europe for Applied Sciences in Berlin and shifted his focus to personal projects. Glusgold‘s oeuvre includes photography, drawing, collage, and poetry and revolves around cultural and spiritual archetypes, shamanism, and a magical approach toward life.
"The world is much more than what we experience through our everyday consciousness and what science teaches us. With my works, I want to remind us of these other realities and strengthen our connection to nature. In doing so, I draw from a vast reservoir that humanity has already created for this purpose, ranging from prehistoric art to African masks, religious images of all traditions, and outsider art."
