Sergey Kovrigo

Sergey Kovrigo was born and educated in St. Petersburg, Russia. In 1989 after completing his art education, which focused on the restoration of antique paintings, he began to show his own work in exhibitions throughout Russia, Germany, Slovakia, Greece, The Czech Republic, Poland and Italy. His art is now included in the National Art Museum of Russia as well as numerous private collections. Combining oil paints, gouache and collage techniques, Kovrigo creates images both colourful and rich in texture that never fail to warm the viewer.


The vital credo: if free creativity is not present, everything else has no value but if it is present everything can be gone through. I work in several techniques and styles. I like metallographic arts, airbrushing. Recently combining picturesque technics with electronic payments, elements of computers (my basic education is the Minsk radio engineering institute - the designer of the radio-electronic equipment). Many people say, that I do not have certain style, but create only what is pleasant to me. Most of all I appreciate free creativity, but often have to perform the order.

As he said, he tried different techniques during his career, but he 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 his inner world. Each of his paintings brings different moods, colors and emotions. Leonid Afremov just like those well-known artists, Da Vinci, Picasso, and Monet loves to express the beauty, harmony and spirit of this world in his paintings. With his heart completely open to art, he enjoys creating inspired and beautiful paintings from the bottom of his soul. Each of his artworks reflects his feelings, sensitivity, passion, and the music from his soul. True art is alive and inspired by humanity. "I believe that art helps us to be free from aggression and depression", he said. Currently Leonid Afremov Art is being collected all over the world. There are many pleased collectors in the USA, Israel, Italy, France, England, Spain, Norway, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries. Presently it is just enough to type "Leonid Afremov" in an internet search engine to discover the value and magnificence of Leonid Art.
