About the project
Hello there, I’m Kira, and my two greatest passions are Paris and art. Thankfully, I’m not forced to choose between them — turns out, they get along splendidly, much like wine and cheese (but with fewer crumbs). So, I decided to bring them together in one delightful package: P.ART.iculaire Paris.
P.ART.iculaire is part art blog, part art club, and part concierge service — all wrapped up in one rather charming project. Launched in April 2023, it’s already become something of a name among those in the know on the Paris art scene. My mission? To help you navigate the sheer vastness of artistic treasures Paris has to offer, teach you how to appreciate art on a deeper level, and — dare I say — bring a dash of hedonism to the mix. After all, what’s life without a little indulgence?
Our events are anything but ordinary. Think art picnics and brunches in secret apartments, gallery tours, and art fairs. We’ll visit top exhibitions, auctions, art clusters, artist studios, designer workshops, and even sneak a peek into the private homes of collectors. Not to mention lectures from the world’s leading experts and intimate chats with curators.
I’ll be your guide behind the scenes of Paris’ art world, giving you the sort of access that’ll make you feel positively in the know. Because, let’s face it, being an insider is far more fun.

About me
For over 15 years, I’ve been flitting around the globe, creating cultural and educational projects that (hopefully) leave a mark. From the International Cultural Forum in St. Petersburg to Future London Academy and the Goethe-Institut, I’ve kept myself busy—and occasionally very jet-lagged. In 2022, I finally gave in to the inevitable and moved to Paris, the city I’ve adored for as long as I can remember (I mean, who wouldn’t?).
In my work, I follow a simple mantra: if it doesn’t make me jump out of bed in the morning, I’m just not doing it. That’s how P.ART.iculaire came to life—a labor of love, curiosity, and perhaps just a pinch of selfishness.

Program
Art tours
Art tours were a natural evolution for P.ART.iculaire — especially since travel is another one of my great loves. And why stop at Paris? Major art events happen all over the world, and we don’t intend to miss a single one. From the Venice Biennale to Manifesta in Barcelona, Paris Photo, Art Basel, Maison Objet, and Design Week, we follow the art wherever it leads us. The locations may vary, but two things remain constant: world-class experts (think Olga Sviblova and George Pinhassov) and a guaranteed touch of hedonism. Because, let’s be honest, sometimes the food and wine can be just as inspiring as the art.
Art Concierge
Coming to Paris for a quick getaway or a grand celebration? Either way, I’m here to make sure you fall for this city in all the right ways (trust me, there are many). Naturally, I’ll start with what I know best—the Parisian art scene.
Fancy visiting the top exhibitions with a private expert who’ll make you feel like a VIP? Consider it sorted. Or perhaps a gallery tour through the tucked-away corners of the city? I’ve got just the route, and the galleries know to expect us. More into vintage treasures? I’ll whisk you off to the best flea markets, where your new favorite piece is just waiting to be found. But that’s only half the story. You’ll get access to private collections, meet artists in their studios, and even get personal intros to designers. In short, I’m opening doors that the average tourist doesn’t even know exist.
You’ll see Paris through the eyes of the world’s top art, fashion, and design experts, who’ll reveal their most treasured addresses.
And, of course, there’s the hedonism part. My curated list of local bars, restaurants, and hidden nightlife spots—none of which you’ll find in the usual guidebooks—will turn your Paris trip into a whirlwind of art and indulgence.

"I would like to express my admiration to our guide who accompanied us yesterday in Giverny. Boris is not just a guide, but a treasure trove of knowledge, extremely erudite, infectious with his passion for art and painting. Delving into quite complex concepts, the tour was in one breath, developing more structured knowledge in my head on the subject of Impressionism. I would very much like to visit other events with Boris. Have a wonderful, sunny Sunday!"
"It was a unique experience of immersion into the atmosphere of the Biennale and Venice.
I definitely could not have done it on my own, I was confused by the abundance of objects and spaces that are presented within the Biennale and the supplementary programs. You did something absolutely special - you selected the most interesting art objects, which we looked at in the company of Olga Shishko.
I can't imagine where else, under what circumstances, I could have bumped into Olga and discussed contemporary digital art over delicious breakfasts and lunches; not to mention the wonderful rose wine with our lovely company on the rooftop overlooking the domes of San Marco while listening to baroque operas"

"Thank you so much for organizing the trip to the Venice Biennale 2024
It was my first experience of participating in such an event and I was absolutely delighted! The organization of the whole trip was top. Everything from visiting the exhibitions, to choosing the restaurants and our "guides" in the world of contemporary art, to the itineraries around the beautiful city of Venice - everything was perfect!
Thanks to the first-class organization, I was able to fully immerse myself in the inexpressible atmosphere of Venice and enjoy all the beauty and works of art without any stress!"

"Good afternoon, Kira.
I want to thank you for doing such great meetings, and Boris for an interesting and informative lecture.
Yesterday, when I was driving from the event, I thought about what important things you do for people. And it's not just about art and culture, it's also about bringing people together. For me, it's about meeting interesting and creative people. Thank you"

"Thank you so much for the magnificent reception!
You and Oksana are to be thanked for the amazing organization of the event!
The lecture was magnificent in a masterpiece suite and accompanied by an exquisite brunch! The gallery tour was exceptionally well planned and reinforced in practice everything that was very elegantly outlined earlier by Oksana. She was able to emphasize the highlights in the galleries and really captivate with interesting facts.
I express my great admiration and gratitude for your new knowledge and unique EXPERIENCE!"

You have so filled this time, amazed and surprised me so much that it has become the equivalent of a few months of good school, internships or courses! I will be happy to see each of you again in Paris or beyond, to each of you I wish the most extraordinary and full of good surprises life road and only the best!!! once again a thousand thanks and rays of sunshine to you!!!"
"I went in the spring with P.ART.iculaire_Paris to the Biennale Arte in Venice. This is my second trip.
Traveling with Kira is for true art lovers and connoisseurs. The speakers are museum curators, famous talented people. I love breakfasts with them before events and exhibitions, where you can ask any questions to art figures and get comprehensive answers.
P.ART.iculaire_Paris programs are the most intense.
The organization is top-notch, the lunch and dinner venues are always excellent. The most magical and memorable thing is the atmosphere among people united by their love of art, explorers and hedonists!"

Thank you to the organizers and our guides in the world of beauty!
Delightful program and super professional and
emotional realization!
If the experts, Modigliani, Rothko, Basel and Serebryanikov "expectedly" made a lasting impression on me, you, the group members - just shook to the core!
Thank you for this togetherness and, thanks to you, the Faith that life is beautiful and amazing!
Smart, beautiful, expert, unique, professional, sensing, tactile, caring, so fragile and talented. It's all tingling inside!"
