The Story Behind G. DeBrekht… Where Dreams Become Reality

What began as a personal passion has grown into one of the most remarkable artistic studios in the world.

As a child, Andre DeBrekht discovered his lifelong love for traditional Eastern European folk art while traveling through historic art villages with his father. He was captivated by master artisans whose skills in woodcarving, painting, and decorative techniques had been passed down through generations. Each village had its own specialty—some known for the art of carving faces and eyes, others for ornamental painting or intricate decorative detail.

Andre envisioned a new kind of artistry: combining the finest traditions from every village into one harmonious craft. With this dream, he assembled a small team of specially trained artists, each a master in their style, to create works that embody excellence, beauty, and soul.

Each figure, ornament, and treasured piece is still freehand painted, using century-old techniques, and designed to bring a lifetime of joy. By blending old-world craftsmanship with fresh imagination, G. DeBrekht became a home for artisans who continue to preserve and elevate folk art traditions.

Today, G. DeBrekht Artistic Studios remains a family-owned studio dedicated to creating unique, hand-crafted holiday artistry for collectors and gift-givers around the world. Our mission is not only to delight with timeless creations, but also to preserve folk art for future generations—ensuring that in an age of technology and mass production, the spirit of true craftsmanship endures.

Welcome to the world of G. DeBrekht, where dreams truly become reality.
