Fine Art Prints Signed and Numbered By Oleg Stavrowsky
Oleg Stavrowsky is a realist painter of the contemporary
and the historic West. He is one of the most recognizable of western
painters today because of his unique painting style, Oleg’s
paintings carry his personal signature with the underpinning of
great draftsmanship, broad brush strokes, dynamic colors and pushing
the envelope of illustrator’s techniques.
Stavrowsky is a rich and varied story teller in
his illustrations which allows the art collector to emotionally
and intellectually participate in the viewing of his canvases. Oleg
is truly appreciated by his fellow artists for his pure talent as
well as his painterly techniques.
Born in Harlem, New York, in 1927 to Russian Czech
parents. His interest in western art began in high school during
World War II. Oleg was drafted into the Armed Forces in 1945, and
honorably discharged as a staff sergeant in 1949. Oleg’s career
as an artist had to wait until he was past thirty to get it’s
first real boost. Stavrowsky's first job as an artist was with McDonnell-Douglas
Aircraft in St. Louis as a technical illustrator. He had moved up
to senior artist before deciding to take the plunge into free-lance
illustration. Then his career expanded to fashion illustration and
other types of commercial art. After fifteen years of commercial
illustration he discovered western art during a visit to the Cowboy
Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, in 1973.
Stavrowsky closed down his commercial accounts
moved to Sante Fe New Mexico and has focused his attention on painting
contemporary and historical western art ever since.
Stavrowsky exhibits in a number of shows each year
and has won the Charlie Russell Show Award for the Best of Show
in Painting , in Great Falls Montana.
Stavrowsky says of himself:
“Very few people know me personally and
I have heard that I don’t really exist, that I am black (because
I was born in Harlem), that I am from the ‘old country,’
(because of my name), and that I don’t speak English. Of course
none of it is true. I got through two years of high school, was
drafted into the Armed Forces in 1945, and got honorably discharged
as a staff sergeant in 1949. I fooled around with ten thousand incidental
jobs and finally when I was thirty decided I liked graphics.
“I got a pretty good job as a technical illustrator
and I was really cooking. Then I got interested in fashion drawing
and got into free-lance art. My only teacher was a book, but I had
a sold reputation as a hot dog. I was in Oklahoma City, about ten
years ago, decided to see what was in the Hall of Fame, and made
up my mind I’d like to try that. I guess we all like Cowboys
and Indians. It was pretty good right from the start and I’ve
been at it ever since. One big factor in my life is jazz. When I
paint, I am listening to music. Sixty-four bars of good saxophone
is like four square inches of good brush licks on a canvas. Western
painting is my life, my joy, my income, my everything.”
