About the artist Serhiy Roy Edit Serhiy Roy's art moves in a distinctly surreal and narrative world, where each scene seems to belong to a story suspended somewhere between sleep, theater and allegory. His works do not simply describe a place or an event: they construct small symbolic worlds inhabited by figures who act as actors in an imaginary scene. One of the most obvious elements is the dreamy dimension. Objects and characters soar, turn upside down, move in spaces that contradict the logic of gravity and perspective. Horses crossing impossible arches, figures walking in inverted landscapes, night cities reminiscent of theatrical scenery: all this hints at a reality transformed by memory and imagination. From a pictorial point of view, Roy uses a very controlled figurative language, often with clear and atmospheric colors. Deep blue sky, suspended architecture and soft, light surfaces create a feeling of endless space. This contrast between figurative precision and surrealist logic reinforces the poetic effect of images. Many works also hint at reflections on time and the absurdity of existence. Running figures, lonely figures, skeletons, clowns or travelers seem to move in mysterious situations, almost metaphors of the human condition. There is no obvious drama here, but there is a subtle melancholy, as if every scene — is a fragment of a story that will never be fully told. In general, Sergei Roy's painting appears as a theater of imagination, where reality, dream and irony coexist in the same space. His images ask for no explanation: rather, they invite us to explore them like inner landscapes filled with symbols and narrative possibilities.
