There is no more greater story than that of a man who was able to get through all the hardships that he experienced during his life. Such is the story of a young modern painter who goes by the name of Alexander Koleszar. This man is known to be one of the most well known modern painters and one can actually see all of his expressions of sorrow and hardship through his very own works.
Mister Koleszar lead quite a tough life as he was a gay man who grew up in a society where men are all supposed to be tough and homosexuality is frowned upon. He grew up in the city of Michigan wherein all of his peers were all tough men who embraced masculinity into their lives. This became quite a problem for him as he was an introvert.
Things were very hard for him while growing up because while other boys were playing rough games and doing other boy things, Koleszar kept to himself and to his thoughts. As early as his pre teens, he had already felt some strange feelings that he knew were different from his peers. Of course he kept this as a secret because he feared not being accepted.
Throughout his entire childhood, he enjoyed painting and he really excelled at it. In fact, some of his paintings were hung up in the city hall of his town. However, the downside of being a good painter at that time was that many of his peers saw that as a girlie past time and therefore referred to him as a person with sexual ambiguity or simply a gay.
Of course like any closet gay, he denied that he was one so that he would not get shunned. Of course the years went by and his mind struggled even more because his attraction to men became even stronger than before. With this, he decided to tell his family about his problem in hopes that they would help him figure things out for himself.
When his parents found out, they immediately sent him for counselling from doctors or psychologists as they speculated that he had a mental problem. Another thing that they did was to see an endocrinologist to see if the problem lied within his hormones. In all desperation, they even went to see a priest to seek guidance.
In the end, his family decided to send him away and had him change his name. During this time, he decided to move to Phoenix, Arizona in order to settle down his mind from all the drama. He lived with his sister who was very much okay with him being gay.
He started studying in the Arizona State University and eventually got top honors in his class. Of course it was also during his college days that he met a young medical student who would then be his first love. Now one of the highlights of this time was his painting career as he was able to create many sets that would pull heartstrings of people.
