A man sitting on a beige sofa with a brown dog sitting on his lap. The man is wearing a green shirt, a beige vest, and gray pants, with his eyes closed and a pleasant expression. Behind them are sheer white curtains and a stained glass window, with a round wooden table in front of them holding a book, a paper, and a small electronic device.

ABOUT

After retiring from a celebrated career as a physician, Oscar Koller tapped into his creative talents. He gained inspiration for his craft from his sister, skilled watercolour and oil painter, Edith Dunn, and learned from various artists over the years.

Originally starting with acrylics, Oscar currently paints using oils mixed with cold wax, with the addition of oil pencils, markers, and pan pastels to create the colours he is drawn to. He believes a great mix of colours can produce a feeling of harmony and completeness and feels his strong colours and textures is what attracts people to his artistic style.

His work, which often projects a positive outlook on life, allows one to see something different with each viewing. Oscar’s paintings can be viewed at Art 1274 Hollis, an art gallery in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 2022. His work has also been shown at The Cannington Art Gallery in Oakville, Ontario and Artful Persuasion in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
