Oleg Zhivetin was born on March 18, 1964 in Tashkent, Capitol of the Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan, to a family of Russian painters. While still young, his family resettled in Moscow, where Oleg began his studies at age fifteen at the Moscow Academy of Art. He earned his Fine Art degree with honours, in 1982. After graduation, Oleg grew beyond his academic focus of Dutch, Flemish, Renaissance old masters, and Soviet social-realism to develop a much more individualistic and contemporary style. Oleg decided to hire one of his neighbours to sell his art on the street in order that he could earn some money to live. The artwork began to sell after a few months, and eventually, his neighbour asked him if he wanted to go to America. Oleg was given a phone number to call to arrange for this opportunity. It turns out that the telephone number belonged to a man who was looking for exceptional artists to sponsor. Needless to say, the sponsor liked what he saw in Oleg’s work. This sponsorship allowed Oleg to work in the United States under a three-month visa. He arrived in California and took some of his paintings to a Russian art dealer.
