It wasn't really "love at first sight". After trying various painting styles & mediums, Leonid Afremov decided it was time to focus mainly on oil painting and palette-knife techniques. Using rich, saturated colors his art is "alive and...

No doubt a must have for summer; the floral print dress can be worn successfully in the up-coming fall season. Now you can wear it simple, showing your tanned bare legs, accessorized only with flip-flops, peep-toe shoes or platform sandals and a chic small...

Some fashion editors call this look “the...

Nothing is what it seems at first sight. If you look closely enough you will see reality distorted in a beautiful, stunning way. Vladimir Kush's paintings and sculptures fascinate me. This talented Russian artist plays with our perceptions...
