This is an original oil on canvas. I use only a palette-knife for painting. I have not used a brush in this painting. I use only natural oil paint and 100% pure cotton canvas. This painting will be available for auction on www.afremov.com

Each original oil painting by Leonid Afremov is truly a one-of-a-kind unique piece of art. With his artwork in private and public collections throughout the world, the purchase of an Afremov original is a great investment as his artwork continues to appreciate.

I'm a professional artist. i paint with palette knife with oil on canvas. Art is my life and I paint every single day. it makes me happy to see people enjoying my art. God gave me a gift of being able to paint good and I thank him for that everyday buy painting and having my art affordable to buy. I was born in city of Vitebsk in 1955. Amazingly enough I was born in the same town as Marc Chagall, the famous artist who also founded the Vitebsk Art School along with Malevich & Kandinsky. I graduated from Vitebsk Art School in 1978 and is one of the elite members.



I tried different techniques during my career, but I especially fell in love with painting with oil and pallette-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 moods, 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. Thus, I enjoy creating inspired and beautiful paintings from the bottom of my soul. 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.

Currently my art is being collected all over the world. There are many pleased collectors in the USA, Israel, Italy, France, England, Spain, Norway, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries. Presently it is just enough to type my name in an internet search engine to discover the value and magnificence of my Art.

Hey, I just wanted to say that two years ago I made a copy of one of your paintings that I really loved, though at that time I didn't know who was the one that painted it... so here it is: [link]
It isn't near as good as yours, I just wanted to tell you what actually happened, hope you don't mind.

I adore your work, its so beautiful. i hope to own a few pices in the future! the explosion of color on each canvas is so striking and unique, i can't look away. its truely captivating and so joyful and lively. your paintings present the world as a more beautiful place, and that's what i love most about your art - instead of darkness it depicts joy, beauty and passion.
you are so talented, please continue to create and enchant us.

Hia , seen a lot of your works and i like them a lot. One question , do you prime your canvas before with white, add gesso or just use standard-pregessoed canvases? Some of the vids i seen seem to have a pretty smooth surface which imho is very hard to gain on a good store , all canvases i buy are well-gessoed but still need sanding almost..they feel rough even if its even distributed, some of course lesser (depends what i can gain) . Rough is nice for palette knife to stick , but it can look terrible unless the paint is very thick and some of your works seem only to have a single layer ..so is it prepared in some way?
