Serhiy Nazarenko was born in Khmelnytskyi in the city of Izyaslav on December 18, 1972. His grandfather, Anatoly Nazarenko, was an artist, so Serhiy learned about artistic creativity from an early age. Growing up, I was drawn to art. Art school, drawing competitions, where he constantly took an active part. In 1989, he entered the Moscow Higher Correspondence University of Arts, but due to the collapse of the union, he had to leave his studies. In the future, he rarely wrote, engaged in more design work. In 2015, he joined the ATO as a volunteer, followed by a contract... he resigned in 2020 and already here, as if for rehabilitation and in search of himself after the war, he picked up the paintbrush again. Started working. 2022 war and he is back in the army. Loads, stress, old injuries made themselves felt. Hospital one, two, three...while being treated, I had the opportunity to write, my style changed, I switched from oil to gouache, so it was more accessible. The religious theme came naturally...
