In the inter-war period he abandons painting, being obliged to create furniture pieces, carpets and ceramics. Starting with the end of the 50s, Ciocolov Serghei makes several of the most fascinating experiments in the Moldavian art. His works number specific forms of sculpture and ceramics, with a special expressivity of the volume, his searches reminding us of the construction of the Spanish Gaudi.
