Born in Kazan (Tatarstan) in 1962, Rinat Baibekov comes from a family of painters. He began sketching and painting at a very young age attending full time art courses alongside his primary schooling.
After completing high-school, Rinat was accepted to the Kazan Art Institute. This in turn was followed by the Kharkov Academy of Fine Art where he majored in Monumental Art.
After living and working as an artist in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) until 1990, Rinat moved with his family to Toronto, Canada.
In 1998 Rinat once again crossed the ocean this time to the United Kingdom where he and his family eventually settled.
At present time Rinat lives and works in Cambridge, UK.
