Training and work

Allik studied from 1987 to 1993 at the Tartu Kunstikool , the University of Tartu and the Estonian Academy of Art . He graduated from the University of Tartu in 1993.

Peeter Allik was a founding member of the Kursi School, an artist group that opposes the official art model in Estonia. He began to exhibit his surrealist oil paintings, which were created in the second half of the 1980s, in the artist group.
