Oleg Stavrowsky
Oleg Stavrowsky is a realist painter of both the historic and contemporary American West.
He was born in 1927 in Harlem, N.Y. to immigrant parents. His interest in art began in high school. During World War II, Oleg was drafted into the Army, served in Europe and honorably discharged as a staff sergeant in 1949. While stationed in Italy, he began his commercial art career by illustrating field manuals for jet engines.
After his return to the U.S., he met and married his wife Carol. Together they have raised eight children, and recently celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary. They live near Austin, TX.
A visit to the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in the early 1970s introduced him to western American art. He gave up commercial art and moved to Santa Fe, N.M., to paint full time. His style is provocative and self-taught. Focus Santa Fe magazine describes it as “the blending of realistic Americana with often surreal abstraction. Therefore much of the execution--the rugged cowboy, the stagecoach, the Pendleton blanket--will satisfy the observer’s desire for veracity, but something in the expressed sky will be less tangible and known.”
Stavrowsky says that he wants viewers to ponder his paintings, to look carefully and find fresh details with each viewing.
