Sergey Cerep was born in St. Petersburg, Russia on January 24, 1969. His creative and artistic talents were recognized early. He was encouraged to attend art school and began studying art by the age of eight. During that time Sergey discovered his absolute love of art.

After completing his first few years of school Sergey knew he wanted to attend one of the most prestigious art schools in Europe, the "SerovoArt Institute."

He studied extensively all the classic forms of art including, European art history, photography, printing processes, sculpture, restoration methods, and painting everything from still life to portraits.

Sergey's images reflect his passion for French Impressionism and his love of color. Imagination, fueled by a lifetime of wanderlust is the key to his lively landscapes. Energy flows from his paintings with a gentle yet powerful force that keeps one captivated for a lifetime.

His work is exhibited  extensively in the  United States as well as  several European galleries,  Australia  and in his home country of  Russia  in St. Petersburg  and Moscow.
