Oleg Kosarev, Visual Arts

Oleg Kosarev stands for fourteen years of experience in the field of visual arts. An educational background in the restoration of polygraphic works and bookbinding, is an important mosaic piece for his artistic projects. His focus can be described as finding answers in the form of visual arts, such as fotography, to the psychological challenge, how individuals adapt to a changing social reality. Oleg Kosarev worked with theatres, dance companies, scientists, magazines and authorities in St. Petersburg, in the role of a trainer and illustrator. He can look back on four exhibitions of his graphical work. His unique, sensitive and completely unconventional fotographic creations about citizens and sites of St. Petersburg always raise eyebrows, create smiles, deep thoughts, and deliver fresh and unexpected surprises for any VETRO audience.
Oleg Kosarev works with VETRO since 2004.
