Artist Assessment 3

Painter Leonid Afremov 

Leonid Afremov is a professional artist widely known for his unique and colorful oil paintings, he paints mainly landscape, city scenes and seascapes. Born in Belarus, he attended art school in from which he graduated as an elite member. Afremov believes that art helps us to be free from aggression and depression, his work is evidence to that as he creates his work from his positive attitude.

From what i h have analyzed Afremov's work displays elements of texture, contrast, shape and color in his work. Afremov sampled many methods of painting but found the  palette knife was his preferred tool for creating his oil paintings.

When i saw Afremov's work my thoughts were warmth and positivity, the choice of his colors aroused those feelings. The images i selected portray Love, travel, seasons and nostalgia. I say this because in one image you see a couple huddled arm in arm beneath an umbrella, which projects these visuals. The other image displays the city of Verona in Italy, did Afremov paint this piece while on a boat in Italy and holds this experience as nostalgia.

Afremov states that "Each of his artworks reflect his feelings, sensitivity, passion, and the music from my soul" I myself can agree.
