Sergey Konstantinovich Gerasimenko was born on December 29, 1967 in the city of Tchaikovsky (Perm region, Russia). Childhood and adolescence of Herasymenko were exactly there. From his young age Sergey showed an active interest in fine art: he dug out of plasterboard, clay and painted a lot. At the age of 10 (1977), his family moved to Lutsk, Volyn region. Here begins his creative career as an artist: he studies at school, is actively involved in sports, but he regularly studies at a local art school. Where, under the guidance of teachers, he learns the basics of composition, painting and drawing.

In 1983, Gerasimenko entered the Uzhgorod School of Decorative Arts in the department of artistic wood processing from where he was transferred to the Faculty of Ceramics, inspired by the works of ceramic artists of Transcarpathia. Where successfully he learns and masteres the ceramic handicraft. In 1990, after graduating from the college, Gerasimenko Sergey moved to Kiev and in 1993 entered the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture on the faculty of easel painting.

During his studies at the academy, he is inspired by painting, drawing a lot, but is increasingly returning to ceramics with his thoughts. He likes to work with pleasing clay, feel the volume and shape, and he loves to draw. The love of painting and ceramics at the same time gave birth to a unique author's style «Happy Art». In 1999, Gerasimenko graduated from NAOMA and began her independent creative career.
