The history of our region interested me since childhood. You can say it is in the genes. I have collected a wealth of material on the subject. –Boris Olshansky* It is from heaven that we look closely down upon our great ancestors. And the inevitable judgment of history. For the future of the truth and faith. From disparate historical data and documents rises the Great Russia, which is pre-Christian. With its great history, which is completely rejected and forgotten. Slavic Russian legends, epics, traditions, tales – what a grand and colorful expanse of imagination and fantasy art! Thank God, there were great ascetics and great artists: Ryabushkin, Vasnetsov, Nesterov, Surikov, Vasilyev … But few, very few names for such a great and mighty power, working in the field of great and exciting history of Russia. –Boris Olshansky Born on February 25, 1956 in the city of Tambov, Olshanskiy attended the Penza Art College and the Moscow State Institute of Painting of V.I. Surikov. Following his graduation, Olshanskiy began to work in graphics and illustration in Moscow, his talents as an artist were soon noticed and in 1989, he was inducted as a member of the Union of Artists of Russia. During the beginning of the Perestroika, Olshanskiy began to take an interest in painting and soon applied his interest of the ancient Slavs and their mythology to his work. In 1993, Olshanskiy organized his first personal exhibition, displaying over 300 works, in his time, he would take part in many more exhibitions both locally and abroad. In the years of all-out collectivization all of my glorious ancestors were dispossessed, but, fortunately, not exiled to Siberia. –Boris Olshansky Fall of the Solar King by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license () Artist:
