Andre's work has caught the attention of important brands, like Alfa Romeo, Lacoste, Ermenegildo Zegna; and publications like Twill Magazine and Taschen's Illustration Now! Vol. 4 - all of which have commissioned his work.

‘I investigate the process of remembering and forgetting, recurring dreams and nature's uniformity; Images portray memories and thoughts as if they could be observed in the landscape.’

The word "tropical" comes from the Greek tropikos meaning ‘turn’.
