The same year, Serge had his first solo art exhibition in Ufa, which had a great success and he was invited to exhibit at the Artists’ Union gallery.
After the art college, Serge continued his art education at one of the most prestigious art academies in the world, The Repin Academy of Fine Art in St. Petersburg, Russia.
