Later he studied in the Academy of Art in Saint-Petersburg (Leningrad at that time) in the class of the famous Russian artist Pavel Filonov. He was discharged from Academy together with Filonov. In 1931-1933 Efraim Lesov participated with other students of Filonov in the illustration of the book "Kalevala" devoted to Finnish epic and participated in the group exhibition "Analytical Art". From 1946 till 1972 he was the principal photographer of the Leningrad Ballet Theater.

Unfortunately, he was forced to leave all his paintings created till 1973 in the former USSR when he repatriated in Israel.

He began with ecstasy painting in various genres: portraits, nature, Jewish life, religious themes, and even abstract topics. He tried to paint as much as he could, as if he felt that his time for art was very limited. The best of his works are a portrait of Lubavich Rabbi and a portrait of his art teacher Pavel Filonov.
