This enchanting piece is entitled “Blue Castle.” It is an original piece by Leonid Afremov, hand-embellished, hand-numbered and hand-signed. This piece also comes complete with a certificate of authenticity and is valued at $1,150.00 retail.
The auction reads, “DON’T HESITATE! BID NOW TO OWN THE SENSATIONAL ARTISTRY OF LEONID AFREMOV! Get a true respect for artists who master the palette knife! This modern day masterpiece is certain to be the focal point wherever displayed! Vibrant colors that will appear to jump from the canvas! Blue Castle is a limited edition, hand embellished giclee on canvas, numbered and hand signed with a certificate of authenticity! Measures Approx: 14.00 X 11.50 (image). Listprice:$1150
“Leonid Afremov was born in Vitebsk, Belarus in 1955. He graduated from the Vitebsk Art School, which was founded by the art legend Chagall in 1921. Like Chagall, Afremov favors the use of a palette knife rather than a paintbrush. Afremov enjoyed painting very much, however he realized that the only images that would be purchased in Russia would be propaganda posters. With this in mind he decided to move to Israel. Almost immediately, he found employment with a local advertising agency painting billboards. Leonid once again faced a problem doing what he loved. Many of the orthodox Jewish Israeli s found some of his works to be controversial. The night before his big exhibition, his studio was broken into and his works were defaced. Shortly thereafter Afremov moved once again, this time to the United States. It is there where he resides and continues to paint.”

One of the most prolific impressionists of this century, Don Hatfield’s style of painting gently combines the realism with the delicate feel of classic impressionism. Hatfield paints images that invoke memories for the viewer by honing in on his subjects during one specific moment in their lives. His concept and technique are both traditional and his works encapsulate powerful yet at the same time peaceful emotions with glowing and alluring hues. Being an artist was not always Hatfield’s aspiration. He believed that his talents lied in other areas including philosophy, theology, and literature. When Hatfield met the renowned artist Charles Cross, he then discovered his ability to paint. Don Hatfield’s one of a kind impressionism has earned him great acclaim in the art world.”

Read more about this gorgeous piece by foreign artist Victoria Montesinos below.
The auction description reads, “BID FOR A CHANCE TO OWN SOME OF THE MOST VIBRANT ART TO EVER ADORN CANVAS COURTESY OF RENOWNED ARTIST VICTORIA MONTESINOS! This enchanting art will fascinate its viewers! Brilliant hand embellishing combined with majestic color instill feelings of class and sophistication! Midnight Blues is a Limited Edition hand embellished Giclee on canvas from a sold out edition that is numbered and hand signed by Montesinos! Includes Certificate of Authenticity! Measures Approx: 30.00 X 50.00 inches. Listprice:$3500
“Victoria Montesinos was born in Mexico City to a renowned Mexican movie director Fernando A. Rivero. By 1983 she relocated from Mexico to the U.S. to create lithographs after she was contracted by one of the largest galleries in the U.S. While Montesinos was working in New York she had the opportunity to work with acclaimed surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, which was highly educational for her. Despite her success in the United States, Montesinos made a decision to return to Mexico. While home her style evolved to include oil paintings and serigraphs on textile. When she returned to the U.S. in the 90 s she made a decision to paint flowers primarily. I really wanted to explore and go inside their world, find all the textures, layers and passages of just one flower. They are small universes and I feel captured by their beauty. Flowers are an incredible way for nature to show the infinity of existing colors.”
