Serezha Galkin

Serezha Galkin is a Moscow-based artist formerly known as Graphica.PNG, describing himself as a “juxtaposer of uncanny ideas”. Over the past 15 years, he has evolved from painting and drawing by hand to incorporating new tools like AI into his practice. Active in digital art since 2022, his practice is grounded in a strong command of the fundamentals of image-making, including composition, shape, form, and colour. This foundation allows him to move fluidly across mediums and between works of varying visual density, from reduced compositions to more detailed scenes. In some works, a sense of emptiness invites the mind to fill the gaps, imagining what might have been. Each piece forms part of an evolving sequence, functioning as both experiment and progression. He explores how technology can be used not only to represent but also to imagine. For him, error becomes a creative force rather than a flaw.

Across his series, Galkin presents people, objects, and landscapes that feel familiar at first but quickly become uncanny. Faces are hidden or replaced, environments appear subtly disrupted, and scenes resist fixed interpretation. His works suggest narratives rather than define them, often highlighting the absurdity of human behaviour within constructed systems. A quiet neutrality runs through his work; it is controlled, never chaotic or dramatic. Rather than prompting an emotional reaction, the viewer is invited to observe how things are structured. Drawing from the Russian idea of “perezhivat” (to live through, to feel and re-feel), his works are not meant to be figured out but to be experienced. They unfold as fragments of something ongoing: memories that may not have happened, dreams that continue while awake, systems that persist even as they break.
