'Halloween is not only about putting on a costume, but it's about finding the imagination and costume within ourselves.'

Sergey doesn't need a costume to get into a character or to let his imagination fly. If you've checked out any of his work with Richard Rothstein, you know, that even without a prop, or a stitch of clothing, Sergey's creativity sours.
Celebrating Cinco de Mayo
Sergey creates his characters with pose and movement, with his abounding energy and the enthusiasm for the creative process. When in costume, whether wrapped in chiffon, or bound by a mermaid's tail, Sergey inhabits his costumes as the character. they never look like someone playing dress-up, but someone who belongs in whatever fabric adorns his body. When it touches his skin, it belongs to him and it shows in the way Sergey celebrates the costume, and the character.
Christmas Wrapper
Over the last couple of years, Sergey had stepped into the clothes of many character, some original, and some very well known characters from classic stories and fairy tales.

Belle
Sergey's characters blend strength and elegance, innocence and sophistication, masculinity and femininity, all without ever relying on stereotypes, gender or otherwise. Sergey's costumes and characters are rooted in celebration and Richard captures the erotic core of the stories, fairy tales and characters that he captures.
