Leonid A. Kolosov was born in 1957 in Siberia, in Sorokino village of Tyumen region.
In the late 50-ies, during the post-war mass migration, he with his parents moved to the Crimea, first in Dzhankoy, then to Kerch, where he spent his youth.
Leonid began to draw as a child - at first, as many boys, soldiers and war, and at school began to paint illustrations for Pushkin's fairy tales, then began to appear other topics and subjects.

However, after high school, he had to forget about creativity - in 1978 he was called to military service and moved to Sebastopol, where for three years he served in the black sea fleet.
After returning from the service, Leonid entered Odessa theatrical and artistic school, which he graduated early, in 1984, after studying for three years instead of four. After service he studied with such zeal and desire that it after the first course transferred at once to the third.

The main task of the club is to gather extraordinary artists, with their vision and understanding of the world that can Express it unusually, not just copy the external reality.
