About

"My interests are mainly in the field of painting. My main motivation comes from external environment, but also from experiences inclosed in the process of painting. With this my work morphs from displaying images in a sign-like way, to narrative – imaginary scenes and pieces abstracted from nature. Looking at the world through painting is a way to position myself in my surroundings. Thus I find my ideal environment in an attempt to preserve it and at the same time to preserve myself." - Radoil Serafimov
