Oleg was born in Harlem, New York in 1927. He was the son of immigrants, fleeing from the revolution in Russia.

Though best known for western art, Oleg's subjects include abstracts, Native Americans, jazz musicians, automobiles, oil-drilling paintings, and various others. A fearless and ever evolving artist, he gets interested in something and dives into painting it with the style that best suits the subject. |
