The Kocalev Art Studio was founded jointly by Marin Kocalev and his beautiful wife, Violeta, in 1992 in Macedonia and is currently based in Ontario, Canada.
Marin and Violeta met in 1988 . Already an established artist, Marin started tutoring Violeta, a young student who was just accepted at the Academy of Fine Arts. It was then that they fell in love, later got married and had a son.
In addition to the spontaneous creation of works of art in which these two talented artists specialize, we will take orders for any piece of fine art, be it a landscape, portrait or still life. We primarily specialize in oil on linen canvas, but we are also skilled at pastel and drawings.
"Marin painted for me a portrait that is a timeless masterpiece reminiscent of the old masters. Truly a fascinating artist."
"I bought a surprise portrait from Marin for my wife and was not disappointed. Now this will hang together with all the other family portraits in our palatial gallery."
"I simply adorn the still lives that Violeta creates and have already ordered 4 of them for my collection. Absolutely fantastic!"
