Belarusian artist Leonid Afremov uses a palette knife and oil on canvas to create his colourful paintings.
Leonid was born in 1955, in Vitebsk, the same town as Marc Chagall, the famous artist who was one of founders of the Vitebsk Art School along with Kazimir Malevich and Wassily Kandinsky.
“I tried different techniques during my career, but I especially fell in love with painting with oil and pallette knife. Every artwork is the result of a long painting process; every canvas is born during the creative search; every painting is full of my inner world.”
Born in 1970 in Poole, Dorset, England. Graham currently resides in Marbella, southern Spain. Left handed, with a self-taught talent and an eye for color, he started his career as a commercial artist at the age of 17, producing artwork for Walt Disney amongst other world leading companies. For the next 20 years he went on to create hundreds of scenes sold all over Europe, South Africa, the far and Middle East. Graham also provided art for many Disney Art style guides, thus setting the standards for many other artists to follow.
After years of fine work he wanted to “let go” and express his creativity in a free and dynamic way. He chose to paint with oils on canvas. The warmth, light and richness of colors found in the Mediterranean give him the per- fect inspiration and environment to stimulate and increase his love for painting, and he is now building up a col- lection of fine paintings.
Graham’s art is filled with texture, light and romance. Throughout his career he has worked with every type of media and materials and is fully competent with all of these. This reflects in the execution of his oil paintings. His art is encompassed in tranquil water lily scenes, lively and colorful landscapes of Europe, the Mediterranean, and the mystical magic of Venice which has drawn the attention of many previous masters.
He works with a palette knife, a metallic tool with a wooden handle, not unlike a refined builders trowel and with oil paint he mixes ‘buttery lumps of color’ straight from the tube to his palette, and then on to the canvas. It takes a skilled artist to use a palette knife and Graham has mastered this technique. This tool allows him total control of stroke, color, and texture, with subtle highlights not achievable with a brush, and this brings his originals to life.
Influenced greatly by Claude Monet and other masters of the impressionist era, he is motivated to source and encapsulate images from all over the world for you to enjoy.
Graham receives numerous private commissions, holds one man shows, exhibits in galleries including Chelsea and Tribecca, New York. He is fast becoming a much sought after name with collectors and buyers of impres- sionism and contemporary fine art. He has appeared on television, has taken part in numerous radio interviews and been featured in many publications, all of which, for many years to come, have set the stage for him to become one of the world’s recognized leaders as a palette knife and contemporary artist.
Graham says, 

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity in life to do something I love, with the tremendous feeling of expectation as I stand before each new canvas. I love to observe life and stand in awesome wonder at God’s creation and its end- less palette of colors and light. I am truly honoured and grateful to have this gift and intend to use it to the full for the enjoyment of others. I welcome and invite you to discover my original works of art. I believe there is something for everyone and I hope you will have as much enjoyment from them as I have had in painting them”
