Born in Paris, in the family of Russian musicologist Rostislav Modestovich Hoffmann (1915–1975), who found himself in France with his parents at the age of eight, in 1923. The old masters collection of drawings influenced the creative credo and, to some extent, the aesthetic concept of the brother, who was in the apartment of their grandfather Modest Hoffman, - a famous literary critic, a Pushkin scholar, a collector.
The first lessons of drawing and painting were received by the brothers from Yuri Annenkov, a leading painter in the art of Russian emigration and the Paris School. Andrew and Vladimir attended the famous Paris Academy Grande Chaumière. They graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the National High School of Fine Arts (École nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts). One of the strong impulses in the appeal of Andrew and Vladimir to the sculpture was a visit to the workshop of Osip Tsadkin.
