Quote: These are such an inspiration. There are elements of impressionism, abstract and traditional in his paintings. One shows real freedom of line another shows accuracy of line and form. The pallette is recognisable yet totally multi-coloured. These paintings give me some of the inspiration that I have been seeking. Thank you. At this stage I cannot choose a favourite. Just wonderful
Hello Roger,
I am terribly sorry for my delay in answering.
What can I add that you have not mentioned in this post? Here inspiration is the clue. Rather than finding a personal style to impress people as many artists do, Leonid Afremov has obviously found direct inspiration in the wonderful cities that he portrays, while his style naturally grew up in the process as a by-product of his hard work. And now, as you are experiencing yourself, he is an inspiration for others in both his painting and his attitude toward art. I am so happy about that.
Thanks for your great contribution.
Miguel
Ps. By the way, I too cannot find a favorite, not yet at least.
