The Life Of Alexander Koleszar

By Krystal Branch


In the world of modern art, the name of Alexander Koleszar will definitely pop up because he is one of the most well known modern artists in the United States of America. He is known for his modern works that are quite different when it comes to the eyes of viewers. If one would want to know more about this person, here is a little bit of information about him.

He grew up in Michigan somewhere in Detroit. He had quite a sad childhood because he was a young boy struggling with his sexuality. Because he was not sure about whether he was a homosexual or not, he was often ridiculed and teased by his contemporaries because he grew up in a rather patriarchal society.

Even as a child, he already was very talented at art especially painting which was his passion. When he was at the age of fourteen, he was able to create around thirty canvases wherein some were actually exhibited. In fact, there were three of these paintings were showcased in the city hall of the area that he lived in.

Because of all the drama and tears that were present in his hometown, he decided to move to Phoenix, Arizona and start a new life. Of course he cleared his head while he was here and decided to come out from the closet. With his fresh new perspective on life, he decided to take a degree in arts and then took another degree in geosciences.

What really made him famous were his four sets of paintings that made it rather big in the world of art. Now his set which was named Portrait was actually a bunch of paintings mostly depicting people. He was able to paint them so well that they actually looked quite real but if one would look closely, he would see that they are not.

Addiction and Recovery was one of his best sets because he really showcased his skill when painting surreal pictures. Many pictures there came from the deepest and darkest depths of his mind which is why many of the things there do not look earthly. It is also the reason why so many people love this set.

Life on Lifes Terms which was another set concentrated more on abstract paintings as he wanted to branch out his style. Even if one could see his surrealistic style even in the abstract paintings, it still looked really unique and beautiful. Of course other paintings in this set showcased still life in a surrealistic style like flowers and such.

One of the most touching sets of mister Alexander Koleszar was none other than the set known as Just My Opinion. In here, he showed his skill in painting scenery and portraits together. This was quite a controversial set because this set depicted a lot of naked men in it which was his opinion about how society would control the people into thinking or acting in a certain manner before he or she could be accepted.
