Triptych: Hunting (2017) Schilderij door Sergei Chernenko

I was born and raised in the southern capital of Kazakhstan, Almaty, and perhaps this is what has influenced my creativity and interests the most. Although there are fewer apple orchards, the mountains are still visible from almost every street. I walked through them with my family, saw them from my apartment and on the way to school, where I first encountered art

My mentor was Georgy Makarov, a teacher of fine arts, who was already a famous Kazakh artist. He was the first to suggest that I take up painting not as an ordinary lesson, and instilled in me the basics of academic drawing and the ability to work with different materials and styles. Therefore, in my first serious works, still lifes and landscapes alternated with collages and works based on Salvador Dali

To obtain higher education, I moved to the St. Petersburg, Russia. Here I gained life experience, acquaintances and opportunities, and also understood what I like, what is close to me, and what I want to draw

When I started traveling, for a long time it seemed to me that something was missing. And when I visited India and Nepal for the first time, I realized what the missing detail was. The mountains stood before me again in all their natural and spiritual diversity - and I was surprised how much new can be found around every turn on their narrow paths. Ancient monasteries, Sherpas, yaks, the last rays of the sun hiding behind the slope or something else - my path continues, and I am ready to share my discoveries as an artist and as a person
