Vladimir Topal

I was born in 1967 in Kazayak, a small town in the autonomous region of Gagauz-Eri, Republic of Moldova. After graduation from high school, I continued my education in the Community College of Chadir Lunga, where I studied interior design. After the collapse of Soviet Union, I applied and won a scholarship of the Turkish government to pursue undergraduate studies in Istanbul at Mimar Sinan University. I chose figurative art and Nese Erdok became my tutor. Those four years of my life in Istanbul allowed me to expand my knowledge and my sensibility to unknown limits. Now I am settled in Toronto have studio here and working as the part-time artist who enjoys the freedom of the system and nature of Canada
