After studying at the Art School of Gatchina, about 45 kilometres south of St. Petersburg, I went on to  do a three year degree in interior design at Leningrad State Regional University, but once there decided to obtain a fundamental architectural education. In 2009, I graduated from the St. Petersburg State Academic Institute of Fine Arts, Sculpture and Architecture with the degree of architect-artist.

 

During the last 3 years at University, I worked in architectural studios of Saint-Petersburg. In 2012, I moved to France, where I give art lessons to children and adults in Voiles Ecarlates School. The focus of the lessons ranges from composition to expression and in several types of media from painting to drawing and with a variety of materials. I also work on interior design assignments and also create develop drawings for glazed tile stoves and fireplaces for the Guild Master studio.

 

As well as bringing two young two sons, I enjoy travelling and painting outdoors.
