Olegas Truchanas b. 22 September 1923

  • Artist (Photographer)
Olegas Truchanas was renowned for his slide presentations which brought ever-increasing attention to Tasmania's unique south-west landscape. Using a collection of colour slides accumulated from his trips in the area, he unveiled the beauty and distinctive value of this wilderness in a subtle and powerful manner. He believed that if people could see this exceptional landscape, they would be moved to protect it.
