Juror:    LEON OKUN Leon Okun was born in a small town in Siberia, Russia.  In 1993 Leon’s family immigrated to San Diego.  When beginning to pursue art Leon developed a profound interest in figurative drawing. In 2003 Leon retuned to Russia study at the Repin Academy in St. Petersburg, the birthplace of the most famous Russian painters.  It took two years of extreme preparation to be accepted to the academy, where he studied for six years and received both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in fine arts.  In 2011 Leon returned to San Diego and immersed himself in teaching and oil painting.  His style is based on the traditional European classical art, and color pallet for which many Russian painters are known. He is currently teaching at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Arts.
