Paintings from Leonid Afremov

 

I found the work from Leonid Afremov while I was navigating on deviantART and I have to say that his paintings really got my attention. Leonid Afremov is a Belarusian painter who was born in Vitebsk, in 1955. Coincidentally or not, he was born in the same town as Marc Chagall, the famous artist who also founded the Vitebsk Art School along with Malevich & Kandinsky.

Leonid Afremov graduated from Vitebsk Art School in 1978 and is one of the elite members. His painting are often colorful landscapes, cityscapes and figures, and are typically painted using a palette knife and oil paint.

    "I tried different techniques during my career, but I especially fell in love with painting with oil and palette 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. 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." Leonid Afremov

Graffiti Brazil: ENIVO

Marcus Vinícius aka ENIVO signed a pack with the vital essence of art at the age of 12, through his first experience with graffiti back in 1998. Since then, he has been scoring the city streets as a stamp of poetry, materializing ideas and feelings through images.

He spent much time following the intuitive experimental in his art through techniques, materials and possible languages in and out of Graffiti. Painting the movement, appreciating the unconscious to the expressive final result.

Today, he takes all the mutations of his work as a portal to the new understanding that the technique, aesthetics, concept and expression of transiting in a cyclical form that comes and goes, where each new series is the result of what's been done while at the same time is a step to further research, branching ideas and bringing a range of possibilities for the future creations.
