Leonid Afremov
Leonid began his paintings with oil and strove to perfect his techniques over years of hard work. However, it is said that his talents did not reach their full heights till he moved to Israel where "the scorching southern sun filled with colors and brightness made Leonid's painting positive and joyous."
Leonid's art tends to be very unique in the way that he paints using a palette-knife rather than the typical brushes most artists tend to use. Using this instrument to paint, instead of scraping paint off a canvas, gives an amazing feel to his paintings that is hard to capture using other media devices
I actually chose this painting for a couple reasons. While browsing different artworks this one once again stuck out and as soon as i opened it i realized once again it was a piece by Leonid Afremov. I think he may be becoming my favorite artist if i had to choose one. The style is something that i believe really catches a persons eye and the way he can portray detail using abstract strokes is really amazing.
