Serj was born in May 1985 in Bergamo (Italy), where he studied painting at Liceo Artistico Statale Giacomo e Pio Manzù. In 2005 he moved to Rome where he attended the painting course at the Academy of Fine Arts, from which he graduated with honors in 2009. His work takes shape through a progressive methodological analysis, both formal and linguistic. Installations, paintings, sound, videos, photography, sculptures converge with his theoretical research based on the concept of "the artwork as a machine having the dual function of matrix and result. The artist as developer of paradigmatic machines". Since 2015 he lives and works between Berlin and Rome.
