Oleg Zhivetin
To be accepted as a student in Moscow's Surikov Art Institute is an incredible honour. Oleg was not only accepted but upon completing his Fine Art degree in 1988 he was allowed to complete the coveted Master of Fine Art Degree in 1990 in Painting and Monumental Art. Oleg's exceptional talent and unique style of painting were readily recognized and upon completion of his Masters Degree he received an invitation to live and work in the United States. The excitement of new surrounding and the abundance of new materials allowed Oleg to develop completely new artistic expressions and contemporary styles. The richness and vitality of colours in his paintings are achieved by numerous layers of acrylics, or many layers of oil paint. The sensuous lines and intricate patterns are defined with the application of gold, silver or copper leaf on the paintings.
