Prof. Katrien Kolenberg, Oksana Burnaieva, the team of Cultural Studies students of KU Leuven and I, we organized the Creative Space Event: Art & Science Award Ceremony with the First Belgian Astronaut Dirk Frimout in Leuven on 21th of April 2023. To celebrate the great contributions of the first Belgian astronaut Dirk Frimout, we united Art & Science by inviting artists, musicians, dancers, art schools and academies, and also researchers and the schools who engage in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.

                                   It was a great pleasure to give a painting workshop at the Collegium Hungaricum in Leuven in the spring of 2022. No one is you and that is your power – was the name of this very cosy event. I talked about feeling yourself and being free when painting. It is very important to follow your dreams! 

I was kindly invited to celebrate the International Day of Happiness with the International Educating Class (PIEC) of University Colleges Leuven-Limburg (UCLL) in Leuven in the spring of 2022. I am very grateful for this amazing opportunity to join lecturers, students and artists, it was a lot of fun! During the celebration, I made this painting that I called Happiness!
