Svitlana Loguinoff Gryshko  

My name is Loguinoff Gryshko Svitlana. I was born on February 11, 1971. Since I was very little I love painting. I still remember scribbling with a pencil on family photos or on beautiful pictures in books, not out of the urge to vandalize but out of the desire to look even prettier. And I didn't understand why I'm being scolded and punished? The misunderstood artist of 2 years! Later I went to a fine arts school, but it didn't become my profession. The profession of artist at the time in the Soviet Union was not considered a serious profession. I really liked foreign languages, French in particular. I then went to the faculty of foreign languages at the pedagogical university and I became a teacher of French as a foreign language. I worked in Kharkiv in a school. In 2000 I moved to France in Bordeaux. I had two beautiful children and it was at that time, staying at home, that I found this desire to paint. I worked in stores as an interior designer and later I trained and became a painter decorator. I founded my school where I teach plastic art. Currently I also teach French as a foreign language. Like what everything we do in life serves us sooner or later! I exhibit regularly since 2010.
