Author: Yuri T. Sura
Yuri Sura draws from life experiences in his series of 14 poems. This includes
his first publication in poetry, Bay and King, which follows a narrative of the
seemingly clandestine experience at the intersection, in the city of Toronto.
Over the years, Yuri has spent time writing, painting, sculpting, owning a
private architecture business and teaching as a professor of Architectural
Technology. All while having his loving wife and two children.
Yuri Sura holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Toronto as
well as a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Toronto.
Yuri Sura is an associate of the Ontario College of Art where he received
his diploma in painting. He is also a member of the Ontario Association of
Architects and a Member of Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.
Original paintings by Yuri Sura, draw out impressionism and symbolism, tied
to his work in sculpting, and writing as well as architecture. Together this forms
the notion of purity in geometric form, paralleling the purity of life experiences
as they are unfolding in that moment. Together the reader will be held through
this encapsulating narrative.
