André Rios
Hyper/Realistic Pastel Artist
Throughout my artistic career, I have developed a strong focus on the realist aesthetic and am currently working on a new series of large-format hyper-realistic drawings. Based in the Netherlands, I also lead workshops in hyper-realistic drawing with pastel pencils, dedicated to supporting emerging artists and art enthusiasts in mastering the medium and refining their personal artistic expression.
Cover artwork for The International Artist Magazine
I’m proud to share that my painting Yellow Frogscape has been selected as the cover artwork for The International Artist Magazine Edition 166!
Inside this special issue, you’ll also find a six-page demonstration of my creative process behind the artwork 1899 Special — a deep dive into technique, inspiration, and artistic expression.
It’s an honor to be featured in a publication that celebrates artists and craft at the highest level.
