The Art Director

Born with a natural talent for art, Andronico began his career at the age of 17 as a props man at Shoemart Inc., one of the largest department stores in Asia. Seeking new opportunities, he moved to Dubai in 1992 to work as a display artist for Salam Studio & Stores, LLC., a major retail distributor in UAE, Qatar, and Oman. During this time, he handled the display requirements for renowned brands such as Estée Lauder, Lancôme, Yves Saint Laurent, Clinique, Dolce & Gabbana, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alfred Dunhill, and more.

With his passion for art and the recognition he received from clients and colleagues, Andronico started his own company, initially named Homera Décor which is now known as Art Venture Design LLC and later as FOR ART SAKE. The company specializes in retail decoration, window and podium displays, product shots, events, fashion shows, and props-making, set building for film and television among other creative services.

FOR ART SAKE became a platform for Andronico to share his knowledge and train young talents in the creative industry. Through his vision and resourcefulness, coupled with his team's dedication and hard work, the company gained respect and began working on cutting-edge projects for top clients.

Andronico's journey did not end there. He collaborated with renowned local and international film and TV directors, contributing to feature films, television series, print/editorial work, events, and music videos. With 32 years of creative experience, he has established a distinguished career as a production designer and art director, earning a reputation among his peers as one of the best in his field, both in Dubai, UAE, and Toronto, Canada.
