Sergej Hahonin
Sergei Khakhonin is originally from the former Soviet Union, where he graduated from the Siberian Academy of Fine Arts in Krasnoyarsk in 1985 and became a member of the Union of Painters and Sculptors of Russia.
In 1992, he moved to Slovenia and acquired Slovenian citizenship. His artistic creation is connected to Slovenian culture and tradition. In the SKRINA Ethnogallery, he exhibited details of Ljubljana’s landscapes, which show his integration into the environment in which he lives.
In addition, Sergej Hahonin also likes to paint “kurente”, haystacks and still lifes.
The pastel colors suggest the softness of the Slavic soul, and thus the painting evokes a kindness and warmth that we often miss in today’s world of speed and alienation.
