Verified ReviewerThis company is a SCAM
I placed an order for 2 prints, spending $334.40 on July 10. They told me theyd send one now but the other was in another gallery and would take another week.
I followed the tracking for the first print as it went from Mexico to Canada to Miami to Kentucky then back to Canada yesterday where it was signed for at a residence. I live in Pennsylvania. I sent an email asking what happened and said to cancel my order since it clearly isnt coming to me and I dont trust them. Today, I get another email from them, ignoring my email from yesterday, with tracking information for something else leaving Mexico.
I believe everything about this company is a scam and Im contacting my bank to file a dispute. DONT BUY!
Full refund
Very satisfied
When I was placing an order I was confused at first whether it is an original painting or a recreation. I think this info is a little bit hard to find, however, at the second glance I noticed it.
Bought a recreation of one of my favorite Afremovs painting. NO complains, the order arrived to Canada in about 3 weeks I believe. Honestly, I expected it will take more time.
The canvas and oil paint are really high quality, and I really like how my painting looks.
Maybe its a recreation but it looks just like the original on the website. Very satisfied.

Verified ReviewerFairwell Sunsset
Purchased a reproduction of Afremovs painting, Fairwell Sunset. Got it framed and hung on the wall.
It is only vaguely similar to the original. The colours are darker and much less vibrant, sloppy brush strokes, areas just smudged in, lacking detail. It looks like someone just rushed to paint it in an hour or two to get it out.
Not what I was expecting. Disappointed and deceived.
Compare the original with the reproduction in the images.
- Generally responsive
- Poor quality duplicate
- Misleading customers

Verified ReviewerStill no painting
I ordered a painting on June 2. I received an email indicating that a FedEx label was created on July 2 and it was going to be picked up within a few days.
It is July 14 and FedEx still has not received my package. I emailed customer service and was told my package would be in the mail by yesterday, July 13.
As of today, it has still not been shipped. I should have realized this was all a scam.
- Did not receive product
Full refund
Inferior reproduction to say the least!
Oh, you're all gonna LOVE this! Check out the detail.
(Original Afremov - from website - posted first).
I was not aware these were "reproductions" until I viewed the certificate that came with the painting. The actual ordering and shipping went fine. I was in touch with someone claiming to be Mr.
Afremov's son who expedited shipping.
Anyway, it looks like the reproduction's artist allowed their 4-year old son to vomit on the canvas and then fingerpaint the name of the famous London pub. I'm almost happily eating the $150 wasted on this garbage and going to nail the painting up just behind the toilet in one of my bathrooms to remind me, in a sort of jovial way, how NOT to get ripped off again.
Yeah, it might be nice if they apologized and sent another reproduction that does not look as shameful or reimburse me, which, of course, they are not going to do...
Almost bought but felt something was fishy
$149 for originals from a famous artist sounded too good to be true, so I did a background check. Seems like the artists crooked sons find it in good taste to sell originals and deliver *** remakes.
To the sons: you inbred lowlifes should get real honest jobs.
Time to shut down these con artists!!!
Worthless paintings
All the reviews on how bad the paintings are, are true. So all the thumbs up are of people that know how bad they are.
All the thumbs down are obviously employee's of theirs.
style="
All the paintings are worthless including originals. I've been to art dealers and appraiser's they all said fairly close to samething and 3/4 laughed. Basically the value went when Leonid passed away they all said that not just 1. I asked "what do you mean?" They pretty much said his dishonest sons make fake paintings and sign them in his name.
I took them to a painting signature specialist he said they are fake. So take it for what it's worth.
- How they were deceitful
- Deceitful
- Worthless

Verified Reviewer | Grande Prairie, AlbertaAfremov - Buyer Beware of what your getting.
Where do I begin. I had order 1 painting and shortly a week after 2 more.
I asked for my tracking number numerous times and got a run around for my first order which was Cold in the morning freshness recreation. After numerous emailing back and fourth they finally sent it out. The painting doesn't come close to what I ordered which you will see. I received the other two after again fighting for tracking number.
The Sunflowers doesn't even come close to the original in terms of colours. Now that one is supposed to be a $5,000.00 painting that was reduced on SALE to 150.00/200.00 and some can't remember but a recreation nevertheless. The 3rd painting Old Freind's was a studio painting. When they sent it too me it was in the wrong orientation and their top sooo called artist Christan painted it.
It looked disastrous as you can see. I talked to Boris and he sent me another one thankfully not painted by Christian and it was done by Stefan. Stefan did a good job on it. Just be for warned your not getting what is exactly pictured.
You painting will depend on the artist who paints it. That's why they should be posting up the actual painting you will receive instead of giving you a false assumption. I won't be ordering anymore from them. Just because of their business antics are deceiving people.You gave to beg for pictures and tracking numbers.
My Freshness of the Cold evening painting was tacky with varnish and they sent it to me a month and a half later. That tells me it was recently done like a week or 10days. They had 30 days for it to dry but they waited last minute before varnishing after my 100th email. I still kept all of my emails that I may share on here if they want to dispute me on anything.
I'm just glad my experience is over with them. I never thought I'd go through anything like this in my life. It was quite an experience.
Thankfully the past 14yrs of Amazon and eBay.ca orders gone bad had prepared me for the fight of the worst seller ever. Good luck to whoever that orders from them.
Buy, if at all, with a lot of caution
You are not going to receive what you think you are getting...just a facsimile of what is pictured on the internet. I bought two pictures --one I disliked--, but did get a partial refund because I left a bad review on this website.
The other one looked nice. I never got any shipment info at all on either one.
Did not get a picture of the second picture before it was sent for my approval as I requested. The one sent was to my satisfaction, though.

Verified Reviewer | Neenah, WisconsinResolved: Ordered a framed print for $222 & hot nothing
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I don’t Re all the date this was settled but, with your help, I received a full refund. Strangely I’m still on their mailing list of potential customers!Oh well.
I emailed them 10 days later, again on 8/25 & again 8/27.
First I was told it had indeed been shipped.
This mornings (8/28) email says my print is being varnished prior to shipping!
Ive asked for a refund & accused them is being a scam.
I have a hunch I am out my $222. The print looked beautiful online.
I should definitely have researched these thieves prior to using my charge card to buy this bogus print from the scamming descendants of a good artist.

Verified ReviewerBait and switch, again and again
User's recommendation: Go to Artfinder.com and buy an original from someone like Ukranian painter Oleksii Vylusk- you will get a high quality original at a reasonable price- no bogus "recreation"

Things are good
На сайте студии Афремова я заказал картину с Джоном Хукером для своего друга. Он далек от того, чтобы быть художником, но является большим поклонником американской блюзовой музыки.
В связи с этим я решил подарить ему картину одного из его любимых исполнителей. Оказалось, что его когда-то изображал Леонид Афремов.
Я сделал заказ без проблем, он пришел быстро, даже не общался с продавцами после заказа, в этом не было необходимости. Спасибо, все было хорошо!

Please provide your order id , so I can check it, the order from Jun 2 should be deliver by now
Invoice #54302 Transaction ID: 212411-N3PA I was emailed a response yesterday which said they had to switch companies from FedEx to UPS. I have checked with UPS and they too have not received any packages. Only a shipping label has been printed.
I would like to retract my last comment. I checked the UPS tracking number and it now says the item is in transit. Thank you for reaching out.
These are not paintings already made by Leonid. These are painted to order by unskilled painters hence the long delay.
Ask for a photo before dispatch and you will not get it.
Even the re-roductions by Leonid are not, they are fake. The whole website is a bit of scam, if you want to take a gamble do it and you will get a v poor quality painting
