"I had a dream to continue my artistic studies in France, learning French was a challenge to overcome. The School of Fine Arts in Nantes was an excellent compromise because it allowed me to deepen my knowledge in art and design, and also to define my orientation while taking intensive French courses. In addition to a study trip to other European countries and exchanges with established artists, the school is a hub of students and professionals from all walks of life."
