about this painting:

White Swan

Dance of grace

What do you think swan paintings should be about? Of, course, it’s ballet! It seems that the ballet was created to be depicted on the canvas. This painting by Leonid Afremov is created to show the whole elegance of ballet. See how elegant is the figure of a ballerina who dances the white swan dance, one of the most famous ballets. It seems to us that among the fans of Leonid Afremov there are many fans of ballet. This swan painting was created for you, dear fans of this graceful dance!

For the image of the ballerina, the artist used very delicate colors. They are best suited for portraying a dance that is literally imbued with grace, they also help to uncover the feelings that the ballerina experiences during the performance. We feel this lightness and tenderness, although before entering the stage our dancer experienced much tension, but it completely disappeared when she stepped faced the audience.

This painting is interesting from the point of view of the plot. What is its uniqueness? This is a kind of art in art! Judge for yourself – ballet is certainly an art, and when depicted on the canvas it turns into a double art. From this merger of the two arts, we get a double effect. But the pleasure is received not only by us, the audience of this painting, but also by the artist himself. So let's name the most expressive features of this painting:

1. When we are dealing with landscapes, as is often the case of Leonid Afremov’s paintings, we can say that the creation of the painting is caused by nature itself, because the artist depicted what surrounds him, what sees each of us. But here is a completely different case! The creation of this canvas is not preconditioned by any specific situation, but by a specific hobby of the artist – ballet. This is a completely different kind of art! He has his own style and his own traits.
2. It is obvious that the main goal of the artist when creating this painting was not financial profit, but something else. His goal was more exalted. Maybe he just wanted to share his hobby with us, to show how much he loves ballet, and of course, as always, he succeeded superbly.

Peace of mind

What can be said about the faces of persons in the paintings of the artist Leonid Afremov? Perhaps it is that they are not always expressive, we do not always see clear lines on them. But with a certain degree of certainty, we can say that in this painting the artist tried to make the ballerina's face as expressive as possible, so that we can read the emotions that this girl experiences. What do we see on her face? Firstly, stress. But how could it be otherwise? Ballet is a difficult job that involves a lot of tension. But not only tension. She, of course, is glad that she entered the stage, and is delighted to see that the audience is warmly accepting her. From this, she gets new forces, gets rid of stress. And now she is already experiencing the ease that any ballerina should experience. She literally flutters on stage like a bird in the sky. And in his painting, Leonid Afremov depicted just the lightest moment of the dance, when the ballerina flies into the sky, easily repelling from the ground. It seems that her body is weightless.

Enjoy the grace of ballet with the painting of Leonid Afremov! We are sure that it will make a lasting impression on you.
