Mr Oleg Korolev ( Russia )

Oleg Korolev, male, Russian artist, painter. 1968 born in Siberia, Russia. He studied in the Art Studio and in the Art School in 1974 and studied and graduated from the Art College from 1984 to 1990. In 2000 he has become a member of the Society of Art of Imagination. Oleg Korolev is a Christian artist who has produced a body of work with strong religious themes; he thinks that art is his natural inborn stat. From 1990 up to this time he has been participating in various art exhibitions and his art works are represented in private and corporative art collections such as Russia, Europe, North America and Australia.

"A transcendental part of a human nature always looks for its own Eternal source and inevitably has doubt regarding visible reality. The conditionally perceived illusionary surroundings require examination and overcoming... Surrealism, through it's inner absurdity and paradoxes, destroys trust in reality.
It is an aesthetic play of the human imagination with a nostalgia for everlasting spiritual liberty. But Visionary Art has a different field of the play, the Contemplative artist is a participant of the action himself, he doesn't play with the help of mind by the symbols and their mechanical constructions anymore, but operates with energies, forces which bear the images, intuitive way, acting spontaneously, just "letting" the painting to manifest itself. ... A Visionary artist can not be Atheist, he always serves a certain Highest Power and represents it by own creative activity and life. "

Publications in Art Books:

	"Metamorphosis" Publication of 50 Surreal & Fantastic Artists Metamorphosis 1 presents the work of 50 contemporary Surreal, Fantastic & Visionary Artists. By publishing the work of established artists such as Ernst Fuchs, Alex Grey, Victor Safonkin, Andrew Gonzalez, Martina Hoffmann, Laurie Lipton, Chet Zar, Kris Kuksi and Robert Venosa alongside that of relatively unknown – though extraordinary – artists, we have aimed to bring a host of new artists into the public eye. This book is the first of a series that will provide exposure for many more artists in future.
	"Eyes of the Soul - Exploring Inspiration in Art" The culmination of three years of research, this monumental book explores sources of artistic inspiration. Philip Rubinov Jacobson offers an evocative book on an art that unveils multi-dimensional states of creative experience. He surveys the great constellation of inspiration through varied artistic styles and processes: from the erotic to nature to dreams, from dreams to myth to drugs, from visions to visitations. He will introduce us to a spectrum of imagery from over 100 artists from around the world that includes styles and genres of the Abstract, Expressionistic and Fantastic, Sacred Geometry, Collage and Mixed Media, Digital, Outsider, Tantric, Visionary and more. It explores the wilderness of a contemporary art that delves into the mysterious forces of life and the creation of an "Integral Art", an art of the Spirit that is comprehensible to the soul.
	"Illuminations" Illuminations portrays an ecumenical inquiry into the questions that lead the reader to uncover and remember the essences of living. Its symphony of stories and images lifts the spirit and invites conversations designed to end the separation of humanity from life and to reconnect us to that ineffable light that guides our journey.
