Who We Are | আমরা কারা
Serov Academy of Fine Arts (SAFA) is a vibrant hub for fine arts learning and cultural exchange in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Established in 1989, the academy has grown into a respected institution that has nurtured hundreds of artists over more than three decades.
Named after the legendary Russian painter Valentin Serov — celebrated for his masterful portraits and contribution to realism — SAFA honors this legacy by promoting high standards in drawing, painting, composition, and artistic vision.
We work hand-in-hand with the Russian House in Dhaka to organize international-level exhibitions, art competitions, workshops, and collaborative events that foster friendship between Bangladeshi and Russian cultures.
At SAFA, art is more than technique — it's a bridge between traditions, a tool for self-expression, and a celebration of beauty in all its forms.
