There’s something disarming about Sergey Blokh’s world where realism slowly dissolves into dream logic, and simple, familiar things suddenly start to whisper. His paintings turn everyday objects into carriers of mystery, irony, and emotional charge.
We spoke with Sergey about how magic slips into the mundane, about color as intuition, and about the pleasure of building worlds where consciousness and the subconscious meet halfway.
Your works exist between realism and magic, ordinary things suddenly gain symbolic power. What makes an object “worthy” of entering your painterly space?
The subject or phenomenon I choose must be understandable and recognizable to the viewer. Simple, everyday objects allow the composition to remain clear and “readable.”
