Oleg Tselkov lived in Paris since 1977 and is the only one of the artists-эмигрантов the winner of the award "Triumph". Heroes of Tselkova well remembered: once seen, never forgotten...

In 1977, the artist was forced to emigrate from the USSR. Settling in France, he rushed to study the Museum collections, exhibitions, salons, literature... All these experiences helped him to finally believe in the light of its star. "My character, born in Russia, continues to live in exile, matereya", — spoken by the author in one of his interviews. Describing his own work, Oleg Tselkov says: "...when suddenly I was this mug, it became clear to me: this person has not a specific person, but mankind in General. That is, I, unwittingly, accidentally pulled the mask from all parties at once. I did not set the task “to unmask”, and I saw no “bad” or “good”, but something more genuine, subcutaneous. And the fact that each of us under your skin brings all of us. I can not have specific claims to any person, but I have more than a specific claim to the mass of people who each other are humiliated, tortured, sent to the light. These claims I may have and the past and the present, and the future..." (M. Pozdnyaev. Oleg Tselkov. "I accidentally tore the mask of humanity" // New news. 2004. October 29).

Experts draw attention to the fact that the paintings Tsalkova, the apparent simplicity of the plot, it is very difficult to forge: the repetition of the numerous details, transitions of color and light, complex background palette is easily given to someone else's hand.

According to the famous French critic and art theorist andré Parrino, "the construction of the compositions Tselkov, you can find the monumental dynamism that primal force, which is the naive soul of painting".
