Seres (also known as Syar), which today is part of the administrative region of Central Macedonia, was an important center for the Bulgarian community during the Revival Period
In November 1912, the detachment, which included Vladimir Dimitrov-Maystora, entered Thessaloniki and Seres under the command of Gen. Georgi Todorov - the general who had a leading role in the history of Bulgarian military affairs and who is the brother of academician Alexander Teodorov-Balan. On November 20, a truce was concluded, which allowed the soldiers, including the Master, to rest from the stormy days that had passed: It is precisely this calmness that will be reflected in the Master's drawings from this period of time - his working life, rest, immersed in tense anticipation of the unknown to come”. In "View from Seres" we find exactly this peace and solitude - a frozen landscape that documents the military path of Vladimir Dimitrov, through his eyes as an artist. (A.M.)
