When one thinks of a master painter with collectible works, one of thinks of masters like Dali, Magritte, Monet and others. Although, there are many artists who draw, paint and sketch which are either still living and walking among us, or have works far more recent than these amazing pieces which hang in the most renown museums of the world. Alexander Koleszar is only one of many though he started his career quite early in life.
As a young boy, the artist encountered a great deal of bullying from his classmates and peers. Often, these children would tease Alexander about this love for paint, paintbrush and canvas which the artist has held from an early age. Many of Koleszar's friends perished in the early to mid-1980s. Often, due to the AIDs epidemic which had yet to see a vaccine, or opportunities for a potential cure at the time.
In childhood, the artist experienced a great deal of bullying at the hands of other children. Later, as an adult he lost a number of friends during the AIDs crisis and epidemic of the 1980s. While there are now some vaccines and treatments available, none had yet been developed during the early onset of the syndrome.
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.
After which, the painter was invited to show work once again at shows in Los Angeles and other locations. Only this time, when collectors came knocking, the artist answered. As a result, many of Koleszar's work can now be found in the homes of collectors, galleries and museums in Europe and the United States.
Although the artist has exhibited art in the past, it was not until these new exhibits that the artist gained ground as "New and Emerging Artist, " which is often the first step to success for artists, poets, writers and others who work in these genres. While it is often easy to enter a piece in contests or shows, acceptance is often fare more difficult. Although, for those who have had any past experience, it can often be a great deal easier as long as one has a piece the judges and jury feel has a chance against other competition.
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.
