Oleg Korolev has emerged as one of the most interesting and accomplished visionary artists of the present time. “Beautiful rhythms come when fear is gone and affection leaves.Perception is clear when the mind is calm, and becomes pure and virgin, when dualities are overcome. Consciousness returns to its Source… Son returns to his Father.”
