Inspiration came early to one artist and painter who grew up in Birmingham, Michigan. Alexander Koleszar developed his great talent for art and painting beginning at age two. Since age 11, the artist has created over thirty different oil paintings on canvas along with a number of drawings. Many of which have now been acquired by collectors and galleries.
While the artist has been focused on his painting career since childhood, it was also during childhood in which the hobby caused Alexander a great deal of grief. Children in the neighborhood would often bully and tease him about the tools and tricks used in painting. If this was not difficult enough, many of his real friends then passed during the AIDs epidemic of the early 1980s.
During this period, the painter also experienced a personal and professional crisis in a number of different endeavors. After a long illness, he recovered and once again started creating art. It was also during this time that the artist regained interest and once again began working on his art. After which, he worked tirelessly on honing these new skills.
After which, Alexander put a great deal of passion into creating pieces which directly related to a long illness which the artist had overcome, and the loss of so many friends to AIDs. During this time, it seemed as if all new works were going to be based on this past darkness. While the artist exhibited one piece, Returning Home, and had inquiries from collectors, it was not until later when he started actively selling work.
One reason Alexander decided to wait on becoming actively involved with collectors was because there was another interest. As the artist always had a love for drawing and classical painting, Koleszar spent a few years learning from and studying with two well known artists. One these artists, a classical painter, and the other a well known sketch artist.
The artist is now well known among a number of galleries and collectors in the United States, and Europe. A number of collectors suggest this popularity comes from his combination of surrealism and realism which at times can create a Dali like effect in some works. Others, believe Koleszar's drawings and paintings appear to more closely resemble the early works of Magritte. Two well known artists whom have permanent art installations or limited exhibits in renowned museums around the world.
Although Alexander had exhibited art in the past, it was not until sometime between 1996 and 1999, that the artist received a second invitation to exhibit works in Los Angeles. This time though, the artist was tagged as a "New and Emerging Artist, " an identity that also allowed the artist to participate in a well known art show in Florence, Italy.
It was at this point, collectors from Europe and the United States began collecting the many drawings and paintings which the artist had on exhibit. The work attracted collectors with the artist notable fusion of surrealism and realism. Some of these collectors have suggested the work also portrays a sense of inspiration from the likes of Dali and Magritte, two of the most well known painters of all time.
