Oleg Osipoff is a painter born in 1969 who creates reflective works.
“I intentionally leave the viewer to ‘dosochinit’ almost half of my design in the picture, ‘let go’ of consciousness and to see in it something of their own.”
He has been drawing for as long as he can remember, and his first exhibition and feedback on his work determined his destiny. Painting became an integral part of his life, a kind of life-style. His paintings are a mirror of his subjective perception of the world, reflecting the books he read, movies he watched, and experiences he lived.
He intentionally leaves the viewer to complete almost half of the design in his paintings, allowing them to see something of their own. He believes it is necessary to leave some mystery and innuendo, rather than presenting everything ready for normal perception. He resonates with Alexander Blok’s statement: “The direct duty of the artist is to show and not to prove.”
His works are intentionally designd to challenge stereotypical thinking and cause people to reflect and reason. He creates paintings that are not meant to please but to provoke thought. His artistic approach is a reflection of his own inner world and his desire to connect with viewers on a deeper level.
He continues to paint and exhibit his work, sharing his unique vision with the world. His art is a testament to his belief that painting is not just a profession but a way of life. He remains dedicated to his craft, creating works that invite viewers to think, feel, and imagine.
