The Man with the Golden Coin

By Oleg Korolev

New works by Oleg Korolev – Alchemy of Rurik

By Oleg Korolev

Visionary Arts: What Vision? by Gaia Orion

The artist’s life may seem to be unfolding like an archetypal legend where dreams and events are interwoven in a perfect dance. The core of these visions is an ordered and centered life with intentions of understanding and integrity. The visionary art that comes from this base is what we also call “contemporary sacred art”.
