If
only you could see my room in my parent’s house! My mom always keeps saying
that I live in chaos, but to my mind, this is a creative mess. I have been
living there for eleven years before I moved to a dorm and sometimes I feel
that I lack all those things. Unfortunately, I can’t show you my room right now
– I’m too far away, but (thanks mom that you didn’t get rid of my stuff) I’ll
do that later.
Here,
at the university, I try to create the same atmosphere and that’s why there are
so many reproductions of famous paintings on my walls. They inspire me, they
motivate me and make me feel more alive. Some people like playing games and
spending time in front of their computers and I can’t imagine my life without beautiful
pictures, sculptures – some classic or modern abstract art. Every time when I visit
somebody’s place, I always look for a piece of art – it adds originality to a home interior.
Today many people buy abstract wall art to decorate their apartments and it
looks pretty nice.
This is how I met Leonid Arfemov
And
his paintings, to be exact. My girlfriend, Susan, invited me to have dinner
with her family and I saw a beautiful painting hanging in the living room. That
was “The Symphony Of Light” and I fell in love with it, literally. You should
have seen this and wonderful mix of colors, this fusion of lights and splendid
brushwork!
Leonid
Afremov is a modern Jewish impressionist who has developed his own, inimitative
style, though his paintings reminded me works by Van Gogh. I was
surprised to learn that he paints with a palette knife – I wonder how many days
and nights he has spent on perfecting his technique. I’m stunned - he has
created so many beautiful pictures full of colors and I can’t stop admiring
them!
How can you recognize Afremov’s style?
-
Bright
colors and vibrant lights
-
Chunky
strokes of the palette knife
-
Positive
emotions and great mood!
I can’t
imagine modern and abstract art without Leonid Afremov!
His technique is incredible – he paints cityscapes, landscapes and
creates beautiful portraits on canvas. It seems that he looks at this
world through sun-colored glasses and wants to share positive mood with
the viewers. By the way, it is possible to buy any of his works - I
think such modern abstract art for sale makes people happier and intellectually
wealthier. Something makes me believe that I’ll buy one of his paintings
in the future!
