Amazing Paintings from Leonid Afremov
I found the work from Leonid Afremov while I was navigating on deviantART and I have to say that his paintings really got my attention. Leonid Afremov is a Belarusian painter who was born in Vitebsk, in 1955. Coincidentally or not, he was born in the same town as Marc Chagall, the famous artist who also founded the Vitebsk Art School along with Malevich & Kandinsky. Leonid Afremov graduated from Vitebsk Art School in 1978 and is one of the elite members. His painting are often colorful landscapes, cityscapes and figures, and are typically painted using a palette knife and oil paint.
"I tried different techniques during my career, but I especially fell in love with painting with oil and palette knife. Every artwork is the result of long painting process; every canvas is born during the creative search; every painting is full of my inner world. Each of my paintings brings different mood, colors and emotions. I love to express the beauty, harmony and spirit of this world in my paintings. My heart is completely open to art. Each of my artworks reflects my feelings, sensitivity, passion, and the music from my soul. True art is alive and inspired by humanity. I believe that art helps us to be free from aggression and depression." Leonid Afremov
I made this brief selection to show you some of Leonid's paintings and I'm sure you will like it. In my opinion his work is AMAZING... his technique, colors and compositions gave me a really good sensation, a feeling of stillness, admiration and piece. Not sure how to explain... but I could admire this images for hours!
To check out further of Leonid's work go to his deviantART profile (which is managed by his son David Afremov). And you can also buy his original paintings on canvas at afremov.com. Enjoy... the images are beautiful!

Very nice. :) love the use of color and the "abstract-ness" of the pieces.
These are amazing with a beautiful use of color. Nice pick for a feature
the ones where u let a few colors dominate instead of the whole color spectrum being vividly present are deffinitly strongest. the whole color sprectrum is overwhelming and breaks up the unity, but amazing reflections and cool pallette knife techniques
I love his work. Amazing use of color. Retro, but yet not dated.
I've been watching his DA account for some time now. I'm in love with his works.
Absolutely incredible!!
