Medieval Inspiration

I’m a fluid art artist and Dutch pour enthusiast from Toulouse, France.

I completed a 4-year course at an art school in Russia, studying a range of subjects - painting, drawing, sculpture, art history, composition… I worked as a full-time artist for 3 years. Then, I made a life-changing decision and pursued a different path. I completed undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in linguistics and foreign languages and graduated from the University of Tyumen in 1999 with Honours. In 2003 I moved to France and enrolled on a doctoral course. I got a PhD degree in linguistics in 2007 and started working as a lecturer at the Faculty of Literature and Humanities at the Catholic University of Toulouse.

A scholar career pales in comparison with the glamorous and independent life of an artist, doesn't it? So, naturally, my interest for art has never disappeared. I keep on painting and honing my skills in fine arts.
