He received his primary and secondary specialized education in Kuibyshev (now Samara), where he successfully graduated from the art high school and the painting faculty of the art school. A promising young man was noticed in high artistic circles - for a year Andrey painted landscapes at the "Academic Dacha named after I.E. Repin." This was followed by studies at the Moscow State Surikov Art Institute, where the main mentor of the active student was Yu.K. Korolev. During his studies at the institute and after its completion, Andrey Podshivalov regularly participated in internships at the forge of the formation of many domestic painters - in the same famous "Academichka." The leaders of the currents for the young painter were outstanding masters of Soviet visual art Yu.P. Kugach, A.P. Levitin, A.P. and S.P. Tkachev, and other famous artists. "In the streams, there were usually sixty or more people coming from many regions of the Soviet Union," Podshivalov recalls. "Among them were both aspiring artists and established masters. However, everyone became equal for a while. The assessment was one - a well-painted work. Continuous communication with outstanding masters, creative discussions, intense work on canvases contributed to rapid growth of skills, formation of worldview, and artistic principles." Andrey Podshivalov entered the mature phase of his life. Ahead of him is a time of work and reflections, a time of realizing the high potential of the artist."From the book "1000 Great Russian Artists""nikov".
