about this painting:

BRUSSELS - BEFORE THE NIGHT STARTS

THE CENTER OF EUROPE

Brussels stars on many original framed paintings for sale. This city is the cultural and economic centre of the European Union where a lot of important events like business forums, summits and so on take place.

However, the majority of people visit this city for a completely different reason. They love the beautiful city for its architecture, cosy cafés and typical European streets. This beauty a world-renowned artist Leonid Afremov tried to capture on his paintings.

Exploring Brussels

A large business centre with amazing financial opportunities turns into a lovely place for chilling and relaxing every Friday night. After a stressful working week, it is time to taste one or two kinds of wonderful Belgian beer or enjoy a chocolate dessert in one of many local bakeries.

When Leonid Afremov was visiting this country, he got to enjoy the atmosphere as a tourist, not as a look and explore what the city had to offer. This is one of his favorite cities, and you can feel that admiration looking at his beautiful oil art.  

- Strolling down the narrow street. Afremov has spent a lot of time outside exploring the city in the evening. Lantern lights and brightly decorated shop windows certainly inspired the image of Brussels on this painting.

- Dining at a local restaurant outside. People chatting in French about their daily business, partners and children are sometimes quite an interesting thing to peak on. You can enjoy the rhythm and the sounds of their speech even not being able to understand a single word while having a glass of wine.

- Listening to street musicians. There are plenty of independent musicians who give concerts outside. Their music feels up the sky of Brussels and give to the whole city and incredible romantic fleur.

This painting by Leonid Afremov makes you feel like you are standing on one of the city’s narrow streets. You can almost hear the street music and the rumble of hundreds of people from open air bars and restaurants. Bright contrasting colours add to the canvas some festiveness. The colour palette and the amazing oil painting technique makes this piece of art a really exceptional piece to buy for anyone who loves this city – or, loves beautiful paintings.
