Self Portrait

Dmitri Ioudine was born & brought up in one of the most beautiful, cultural and artistic cities of the world St. Petersburg, Russia.

Since I was a little boy my mom, who is also an artist took me to art classes & studios with her where I started drawing & also met some famous tutors & artists.

Later in my life, I decided to make my first painting. My mom & dad commended me for my effort & that is how my career as an artist began.

Then I attended art school & learned principals of design & composition, perspective as well as history of art, drawing, sketching & watercolor painting.

In addition I attended classes from "Academy of Art" in St. Petersburg that is known to generate famous artists, who's work is now in museums around the world. There I learned about different kinds of solvents & pigments, how to paint with oils & pick color.

I continued my education by going to college of restoration and design, & took part in restoration of one of the historical buildings in St.Petersburg.

In addition, when I came to Canada I took a "Digital Publishing & Imaging" course in renown "Toronto Image Works" Institute which is also a working lab & Graphic design studio. There I was trained & received a diploma in Graphic Arts using various computer design programs.
