Oleg Kalaytanov's works are held in private collections around the world.
Oleg's paintings amaze with bold brushstrokes and rich colors. He explains: «I want my works to reflect constant movement: the movement of birds in flight, the movement of dancers gliding across the surface. I want to convey the essence of the subject, but I do not want it to be completely finished. I always leave space for the viewer looking at the canvas so they can complete it themselves. It is precisely this interaction between the artist and the viewer that creates a wonderful chemistry in my works».
