In 1960 in Dieudonne (Oise), Rurik was immersed in an artistic milieu from childhood.<\/p>\n
His mother was a famous actress who worked at ORTF (the French radio and television) as a director. His father was Pierre Dmitrienko, a famous painter of Russian origin.<\/p>\n
Rurik remembers a trip to Spain with his parents when he was still a child, especially the Prado Museum, and a Jerome Bosch triptych, which he returned, full of excitement, to see many years later.<\/p>\n
Because his father had his studio in the Bastille neighborhood of Paris, the young Rurik spent most of his youth in this part of town.<\/p>\n
Rurik studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Paris.<\/p>\n
He was 19 years old when his first solo show went up (Galerie de la Cit\u00e9, Luxembourg).<\/p>\n
Since then, he has exhibited regularly in solo shows (in the United States, France, Switzerland, and Italy) and in group shows in France and abroad. As a young artist, he received the Lubiam Award (Mantua, Italy) in 1980, and then the F\u00e9n\u00e9on Prize (Paris) in 1983.<\/p>\n
In that year he also spent two years as a resident at the Villa Medici, the French Academy in Rome.<\/p>\n
