Aurum Collections is proud to feature the art of
world-renowned artist, Leon Oks. Find original paintings and prints from Leon
Oks at Aurum Collections, located in Miami Florida.
Leon Oks was born in the Ukraine on March 16, 1939. He had
one sister and one brother. When Oks was only a toddler, his father was killed
in the line of duty. His remaining family was forced to flee, but returned to
their home when WWII was over in 1945.
He became interested in art at a very young age and began
painting at the age of six. He was a self-taught artist as a young man, but
received formal training at the School of Fine Arts in the Soviet Republic. However, there were artistic limitations in place in his communist upbringing.
When Oks arrived in the United States in 1980, he was free
to express himself artistically and soon became a favorite of collectors,
museums and galleries. He is most well-known for his paintings of the female
form, small villages reminiscent of his childhood and nature.
