On the Norwegian Star, they had an art gallery featuring among others pictures by Ilyayev; they reminded me of Afremov’s style. Did he copy? See https://share.google/aimode/sOBHuvKuswSm4Sn4Q, seems consensus says no. Ilyayev’s inspirations predate Afremov’s work
He is represented by https://www.parkwestgallery.com/artist/slava-ilyayev/

The picture is by me, taken on the ship. (I might make a slide show of some pictures.
