🎓 Education & Artistic Formation

My artistic foundation was shaped by classical training and architectural discipline.

1989–1995 — Art School
1996–1999 — Art & Ceramic Technical College
2000–2006 — Faculty of Architecture, State Technical University
Specialization in Fine Arts

Alongside formal education, I worked with stage decoration and scenic painting in theater and hotel productions. This experience strengthened my sense of composition, atmosphere, and emotional storytelling through space.

My architectural background continues to influence my work through structural balance, spatial awareness, and expressive form.
