Oleg Prokofiev

As the second son of Sergei Prokofiev, he wrote that his father's music inspired in him 'a wave of some wonderful energy...a poetic or artistic impulse'.

His brightly saturated line paintings and skyline sculptures of the 1980s demonstrate a definite departure from the greys, browns, and masking white works of the 1960s and early 70s.

Oleg was first married to Sofia Koravina with whom he had a son, Sergei O. Prokofieff (1954–2014), who lived from 1985 in Germany and Switzerland with his wife Astrid and wrote profound works in the field of Anthroposophy and, in general, Christian occultism.

[citation needed] Oleg married Frances who gave him five children, one of whom, Quentin, died at an early age.

[4] Oleg Prokofiev died in 1998 aged 69, while on holiday on the island of Alderney in the English Channel[5][6] and is buried on the west side of Highgate Cemetery.
