Why used une before name of profession

You have used une in vous êtes une artiste but as i learnt from you that don't use un or une before any profession

Hi Sumesh,

In this case, 'artiste' isn't a job but more of a compliment like you would say -

Vous êtes une star/un chef ...

Hope this helps!
