Bonjour!

My name is Marina. My husband and I came to France thanks to “Artists in Exile” program, and now are applying for refugee status. We are from Russia, but we’re supporting Ukraine.

We are both graphic designers. Additionally, I am an art director and a visual artist, and my husband is a musician. We are calm, neat and intelligent people, who love cinema, literature, fine arts and nature.
