Came across this remarkable artist, Leonid Alfremov, on Facebook. Such brilliant use of colour and movement which reminds me of Van Gogh.
His biography.

His biography.
Although I personally am not attracted to his style, I was very interested in his life story, from childhood in Belarus to his young married life, (three generations of seven people living in a 2-room apartment with baby and in-laws In the 1970’s?), to his immigration to and poor treatment in Israel, to his recognition and success in the US, finally living in a resort town in Mexico. Extraordinary story of the triumph of the human spirit.
