The artist works in different genres - portraits of contemporaries, still life, landscape. The main technique of Sarazhin's creativity is a transformation of reality for the sake of achievement of stronger artistic generalization. Sarazhin found his original style and visual method. In some of his works, a viewer may see a minute impression of the author, while in others - a philosophical parable or metaphor. The artist values both. Sincerity remains the most important aspect of his work. Sincerity in everything he does: If I am sincere, the viewer is sure to feel it.

"In my opinion, there are a lot of great artists who continue the traditions of a more classical understanding of depicting real life. But with the whole eclectic movement in modern art and its big capital concentration on more radically subjective styles, a big section of young artists now neglect traditional knowledge."

"With Regard To Technical Methods, I Can Say That Everything Comes With Practice And Experimentation. I Am Constantly Looking For Better Ways And Painting Techniques That Maximize And Could Express What I Had In Mind. I Can Say That The Language Of Art That I Use, Appeared Over Time, Such Methods Were Not Taught In The Art Academy. Especially In The Art Academy, I Trained In A Good Traditional “soviet” Artistic School. Due To The Emergence Of New Trends “contemporary Art”, This School Will Be Forgotten. Which Is Really Sad."

"To Work On The Open Air, I Got Accustomed To During My Studies At The Art Academy. And Since Then, It Has Become My Habit. Working With Nature On The Open Air, Is A Very Good Way To «clean» The Colors Of The Artists Palette. For The Artist It Is Very Important To Work With Nature, Whether It Is A Human Figure Or A Still Life Or Landscape. Nature Teaches The Artist To Perceive The Shape And Color, Perspective And Rhythms. When I Work In The Open Air, Anyway There Is A Dialogue With People. For Me It Is A Lasting Impression For My Ideas In The Future Compositions. Traveling To Different Countries And Localities I Always Find Something New In People And Their Lifestyle, And In Their Stories. It Gives Me An Impulse To The Create New Works In The Workshop. What Can I Say About The Bad Sides Of Work Outdoors, This Of Course Often Struggle With The Elements: Wind, Rain, Cold, Heat And Sun, And Of Course, Flies And Mosquitoes. But This Has Its Own Charm And Romance, Besides You Feel It And Experience For Yourself. And Of Course, People Are Very Different. Sometimes I Was Meeting With Such People Of Such Character You Couldn’t See In Any Movie. Well, About The Funny Things That Have Happened In The Open Air I Could Write A Whole Adventure Book."

"I Really Like The Black And White Photography. And This Is My Dream. Especially The Photo With A Long Exposure. And It Means Frequent Traveling Along The Shores Of Seas And Islands. I Had Started Doing It, And It Carried Me Very Much, But At The Moment I Do Not Have Time For This."
