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.

Leonid Afremov










 i paint with palette knife with oil on canvas.

Leonid Afremov was born in city of Vitebsk in 1955. Amazingly enough Leonid 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.

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.

The Metamorphosis of Love

title: The Metamorphosis of Love
description: It is interesting to notice that after 71 years "Automatism" is still at the center of the Surrealist debate. Whether it is an uncontrollable flow of the subconscious or a meditated attempt to intellectual manipulation, surrealism is above all..

New York artist Tom Fruin’s outdoor sculpture Kolonihavehus in the plaza of the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen has the appearance of a friendly and colorful stained-glass house, yet it also evokes thoughts of churches and Charles Rennie Macintosh.

Douglas Winters III paints from his home studio located in Dallas, Texas. The main inspiration for his work comes from his passionate connection with nature. Born in Austin, Texas, Douglas was introduced at an early age to his two great loves, art and nature, by supportive family members. Douglas’ grandmother, an artist and professional art teacher, and Douglas’ uncle a renowned artist and teacher, currently living and teaching in China have been very influential in Douglas’ artistic development. Douglas’ father introduced him to the natural world as a child and throughout his life they have enjoyed time together in the great outdoors. Douglas studied commercial art, studio art, and architecture at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. Through the use of vibrant colors that explode off the canvas and subjects that beg to be different, Douglas’s art invites you to breathe deeply and step inside the wonderful world of nature.
