Leonid Afremov was one of the most distinguished contemporary artists known for his unusual painting manner and the powerful emotional impact his artworks have on a human soul. A Mexican-Israeli modern impressionistic artist, he worked mainly with
a palette knife and oils. He developed his own unique technique and style which is unmistakable and cannot be confused with other artists. Afremov painted mainly landscapes, city scenes, seascapes, flowers and portraits.
Before the advancement of online sales, Afremov was a struggling artist. He was born in Vitebsk, Belarus, and lived there until 1990. Between 1990 and 2002
he lived in Israel, and from 2002 to 2010 in Boca Raton, Florida. In 2010 Leonid moved to the popular resort town of Playa Del Carmen, Mexico as a place for retirement and teaching inspiring young artists that later became known as Afremov Studio.
