Charles Fazzino is an American pop artist, known for his silkscreen serigraphs in a 3D pop art style. His artwork incorporates influence from urban landscapes, sporting events, and modern celebrities. As described in the book about Fazzino titled The Master of 3-D Pop Art, "An innovative and imaginative storyteller, Charles Fazzino serves up a bevy of details in his unique three-dimensional creations. His collectors marvel as much at his ability to capture the entire essence of his subject matter in one statement, as they do at his use of vibrant colors, his whimsical sense of humor, and his hand-assembled multi-layered artistic style. Although, the snappy titled often gives a clue to the content of each painting, it can take years of careful observation to discern all of the details in a single Fazzino image. One of Fazzino's greatest joys is to observe visitors at exhibition of his work. 'I love to watch the smiles form as people begin to recognize elements of my paintings,' comments Fazzino. 'They point at the images as if inserting themselves into the stories. I watch that and I'm reminded of why i paint. It's all about celebrating the joy and fun we have as human beings on this planet."

Serge was the son of the painter Maurice Mendjisky (1890-1951) and studied in the studios of Picasso, Sutin, Braque and Léger, each of whom influenced his work in their own way. After studying at the Paris School of Fine Arts, he quickly gained recognition and began exhibiting in Japan and the United States, choosing to use a combination of photography and painting.
In the 90's Mendjisky used macro photography, turning to pop art, and since 2000 he decided to use photography as his only means of expression. In the collage technique, he modified photographic images of the world's most famous cities, such as New York and Paris, creating new urban landscapes and formulating his multi-dimensional vision of the world.
