Al Serov: Fantasy Art

Al Serov is an artist of a new technological era. In his work he uses digital painting, high-end 3D modeling and rendering, as well as digital photography. And yet, despite of the ultra modern means, the themes of his art are traditional and eternal. His specialty is fantasy art. In his work Al Serov strives to depict the worlds of dream and beauty, mystery and decadence.

About

Unfortunately, I am not that young anymore. I am forty now.

Fantasy art is my second career. Before that I was a journalist and an executive editor of a city newspaper. But when the time came I immigrated to Canada, changing not only my occupation but culture and language as well. That’s a lot of changes but I believe that they were necessary. Just like O.Henry wrote once: “"It ain't the roads we take; it's what's inside of us that makes us turn out the way we do."

How I work

Name: Al

Last Name: Serov

Country of Origin: Russia

Spoken Languages:

English, Russian

Education: Military Political Institute (Lvov, USSR),

University of Ural (Ekarterinburg, Russia),

Humber College (Toronto, Canada)

It has been a long way for me. I started as a photographer, and then fell in love with 3D modeling and computer generated effects. The kind of effects they used in “the Lord of the rings” movie. Well, maybe not THAT advanced but close. But it wasn’t enough somehow. And after that I discovered painting! When I work I use three medias now – photography, computer generated effects and digital painting. And so far I love the results.
