Born into an artist family, Andrei Petru Jecza is the son of the sculptor Peter Jecza. He studied at a German high school in his hometown, Nikolaus Lenau, before earning two separate degrees in Video Art, Photography and History of Fine Art at the West University of Timisoara. He later completed with merit a Masters in Art Business at Sotheby's Institute of Art in London. Currently he runs his own commercial gallery and became more recently the executive director of the Jecza Museum & Triade Foundation. Andrei Jecza is committed to promote and represent mainly Romanian artists who pioneered experimental art forms in the early 1960s and 70s, being also concerned with cutting edge contemporary artists. Through international connections and partnerships, he developed the reputation of the artists he represents, succeeding in placing them in international well-known collections, like the MUMOK Museum of Contemporary Art in Vienna, MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow, Ritter Collection in Germany, Tate Modern in London etc.

Andrei Jecza’s main activity is dedicated to Jecza Gallery, which is trying to become the platform for contemporary art in West Romania.

In 2023 alongside other eight contemporary art galleries Andrei Jecza co-founded RAD Art Fair in Bucharest. For 2024 Jecza Gallery produced an exhibition of Tincuta Marin which opened within the opening week of Venice Biennale in Venice. By the end of 2024 Jecza Gallery will have a second gallery space in Bucharest.

Andrei Jecza’s long term goal is to bring Romanian contemporary art to international acknowledgment.
