Composition 1992., Canvas, oil, 50x60 cm
By Igor Leontiev
Located in Riga, LV
Composition 1992., Canvas, oil, 50x60 cm Abstract composition "Composition" is an abstract artwork created in 1992. The medium used is oil on canvas, and the dimensions of the artwork are 50x60 cm. As an abstract composition, the artwork does not represent specific objects or subjects in a realistic manner. Instead, it focuses on elements such as color, form, line, and texture to create a visual expression of the artist's ideas and emotions. The oil medium provides a rich and vibrant quality to the artwork, allowing for the blending of colors and the creation of various textures. This creates depth and visual interest within the composition. Igor Leontiev (1957) - one of the leading independent painters in Latvia Born in Riga, Latvia.
