"Almost all cities are noisy and crowded. They are full of rush and lack of time. People are running around, they are in a hurry trying to get as much as possible. They are copying each other, are being slaves of physical things. Around almost everyone there is a tornado of information, numbers, dates, names, facts, things to do and so on and so on. But there are also happy cities. Here is one of those. This is a city by the lake. The lake helps the city to breath but to the citizens it helps to relax and get out of the city rush. The lake is healing the soul of the city, it gives to the city the strengths and reminds about the silence. In the city by the lake people are more happy than in other cities.

Once I used to live in such city… the city by the lake. Are you missing me? City by the lake"

This is a recreation of a piece which was already sold.

The recreation is 100% hand painted by Leonid Afremov using oil paint, canvas and palette knife.

Its not an identical copy , its a recreation of an old subject. This recreation will have texture unique just to this painting, a fingerprint that can never be repeated. My recreation will look similar but will have different texture, each knife stroke is unique and impossible to repeat. Each painting I create is one of a kind.

The recreation has a very high gallery value of thousands of dollars just like the first originally created painting. Investing into recreations is worthwhile just like investing into original work. Any painting with Afremov signature is sold for thousands of dollars in a retail gallery no matter if it was the first or second version.
