Oleg Elizarov

1969 – 2010

avant-garde artist.

The creator of the unique "white" style in painting, the founder of the creative association "White Circle". Elizarov's works are characterized by a large amount of white paint and the presence of non-standard, primitivist figures as the main compositional elements. In his paintings, in addition to ordinary paints, the artist also added building materials (for example, chalk), as a result of which some works of the experimental artist are difficult to preserve.

Author and participant of numerous solo and group exhibitions. Most of Elizarov's paintings do not have titles or exact dates of painting. According to rumors, Elizarov's latest film, "Lonely Sky," was bought by Microsoft co-founder Steve Ballmer.

Lived and worked in Vitebsk and Polotsk, and in recent years in Soligorsk.
