Sergej Hahonin, who moved to Slovenia from the former Soviet Union in 1992, has linked his artistic work to Slovenian culture and tradition.
He likes to paint landscapes, hayracks, and still lifes.
His »kurent« is based on a Slovenian folk tradition and, like the “korant” from Ptujsko polje, is dressed in fur.
On his head, he wears a cap made of sheepskin with red trimmed eyes, mouth, and nose holes.
A long red tongue hangs out of his mouth. He has a powerful mustache under his nose, and he carries »ježevko«, a barbed stick in his hand.
