Comment by Henning Mittendorf on September 30, 2014 at 4:28pm: With Sergej all of us lost a good friend. But his voice does not fall silent in our common network of life as we can see here in this group.

Thankfully I remember the contact to him and Rea from that the collage stems. His art is an exceptional creative expression of the mystery called man.

We need so much such art in bad times like ours!

I greet him ... myself growing old.
