The Painted Cityscapes of Leonid Afremov

It's wonderful to discover something new especially when you are submerged in work and research. Here's a painter then who's originally from Belarus but now lives in Florida, USA. His work reminds me a little of Marc Chagall's, the great Belarusian painter. I remember seeing Chagall's beautiful stained glass windows in a church (the Fraumunster) when I was on a previous holiday in Zurich.  

It seems like Chagall's mozaic of colours has influenced the artist Leonid Afremov from Vitebsk, Belarus. According to the artist's web page it's the same town where Marc Chagall was born. Interestingly the same page also points out that "Leonid Afremov graduated from Vitebsk Art School in 1978 [which] was founded by Marc Chagall in 1921. Along with Malevich and Kandinsky, Leonid Afremov is one of the elite members of the famous Vitebsk art school."  

Here's some of Leonid Afremov's work I've found and would like to share:
