I am Oscar Quesada. My profession is that of a fine art oil painter. With a history of making works of art that goes back 23 years,I have since amassed credentials in this field of endeavor that well certify my art's statement of cultural intent. My continuous study of specific interests in the fields of art has brought me to a scholar's level in some aspects of art historical understanding. I apply this to the developing of my full career aspiration, which is to gain the inclusion of my work and deeds, as yet another example in the continuation of American art history as a reflection on world art histories. Maintaining residences and studios in the cities of Los Angeles, Dallas and New Orleans, I have been married to my wife, Leslee, since September of 1993. Much of the actualizations of my professional career arose when we relocated from Austin, Texas to San Francisco, California. While there, I worked through the ranks of museum system to the center of action during the reopening of The California Palace of the Legion of Honor Museum. As liaison to the museum, I conversed with the likes of many near legendary artists from San Francisco and abroad, as well as celebrities and political dignitaries on a daily basis. On the day after Christmas 1996, my art was collected by the curator, Steven Nash. (The Resurgence of the Legion.) In southern California, I set up a studio in Culver City that helped influence the art identity of Venice Beach and Santa Monica. Since here, I have sold to individuals from all walks and creative fields and it became my intention to involve my art with all social levels in society. On February 11, 1998, my art work was collected by the curator of The Huntington Museum and Library in San Marino, Jim Folsom. (The Corpse Flower in Full Bloom.) As of recent, I have made excursions to open up a scene that centers in New Orleans, Louisiana. Prospects in this endeavor proved so beneficial that I have, with great help, acquired a studio in the French Quarter district. I am so inspired by the qualities and cultural richness of the indigenous people in and around New Orleans. Thusly, I plan a life long return to this area, so that I might pay homage with my art, encapsulation my New Orleans experiences much in the same ways as I did with Austin, San Francisco and Los Angeles. With Europe and in particular, Paris on my horizon, I personally anticipate the compositions that I will make over the next few years.
