Oil Paintings of Leonid Afremov

Posted on 10. Mar, 2009 in Atwork, Featured

Leonid Afremov is a Belarus born, Israeli modern painter who creates unique landscapes, cityscapes and figures using a palette knife rather than a brush to paint. Here is what he himself seys about his work and the techniques he uses:

“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 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. 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.”

I wish I had the money to buy every one of your paintings to fill my whole house with them so I could see them at every turn. I love the way they make me feel. I have been staring and staring at them for a while now and am heartbroken that I am just a fellow starving artist unable to buy. Wonderful work.

I love your art. I love the colors you use. I wish prints of your work were more widely available. I can’t afford originals. I have some favorites that I search the internet for about once a month. I’m sure that someday I’ll find them.

These paintings are breth taking. They’re just so different and unique. When I was looking at them I just kept smiling. They’re really great, I wish I had such eye for detail and that I could paint like that. AAll I could do is draw a flat flower. LOL. But really great job…

Hi Leonid,
I’m totally inspired by your work.
Do you ever combine brushwork on your paintings?
Or use different sized knives??
How long have you been painting?
