A master class by Konstantin Petrov, People's Artist of the Russian Federation from the Higher School of Design and Architecture, was held at PSU.

Future painters had a unique opportunity to work alongside the master, see the creative process from the inside, and ask questions that interest novice artists. The atmosphere of the class was a real source of inspiration for the participants.

The event was part of the Autumn Cultural Marathon 2025 project, which brings together concerts, exhibitions, master classes, and creative meetings for students.
