Alexander Koleszar Artist Is A Worldwide Renaissance Man

By Kenya Campos


Alex is a popular artist who discovered his talent for painting at early stages. He lived in Michigan where he studied. His great talent and interest in painting made him recognized since he was young. After doing his first 30 canvases he was recommended for to take part in an exhibition in Michigan. By then Alexander Koleszar had not even completed his seventh degree. It was unfortunate that he had to deal with cruelty of other children at that tender age. It made him hide his talent to avoid negative attention from his peers.

Twenty years later an AIDS pandemic swept over his land. It was painful to witness friends and family die. He had to turn to something to forget the disheartening moment or even look for a way to let the sadness go. It was in this difficult period that he decided to get grounded in art once again. He concentrated in his work and art turned to be an effective recovery mechanism.

This time after returning to art work he changed the manner in which he did his work. His paintings now reflected on more real issues in the society such as the AIDS pandemic which had claimed the lives of many in the society. One of his paintings pleased so many people and was taken to a sales gallery. This painting was named returning home. It was among the two best paintings in that year.

Although Alex seemed to flourish in his work, he shifted to doing classical paintings and drawing. He needed to set more time in order to gain experience in this new field. To achieve this he enrolled for classical painting classes and put aside his past art work to give more time to his new career.

It did not take long for Alex build himself in the new field. In fact by the year 1996 he was already receiving invitations to participate in shows. He quickly became popular that people nick named him the new emerging artist in a Biennale show.

Biennale acted as a stepping stone for great opportunities. After the show it was all over that a new talented artist had emerged. People traveled from every part of Europe and US to buy his paintings. They were a real fusion of realism and surrealism.

All the works of Koleszar evidenced his passion for his work and his commitment to deal with critical issues in the society. All his works referenced vital issues in the community such as wars that took place during Bush Administration and Enron scandals. Some of the art work addressed addiction and recovery of West Hollywood community. He helped solve critical issues in the society indirectly through exposing them in his paintings.

Koleszar is a celebrated renaissance man. In addition to art he did natural sciences and enjoyed politics. His thoughts, knowledge and ideas were reflected in art. It was during this time that another tragedy hit him. One of his close friends who he had worked with in this field for 26 years passed away. It was very painful that he migrated to Palms Springs. There he started a new life away from past distractions.
