Seno was one of the founders of the Croatian Cartoonist Association and was the Secretary and the President of the same at a time. He
was the first Croatian representative at the European Association of Cartoonists FECO. In the weekly magazine INA he had his own section by the name of INEK. He was the organizer of numerous
exhibitions that were part of the cycle called "The Chain of Laughter", and of numerous international festivals in Croatia. From 1978. to 1990. he was employed at ZAGREBPLAST, and from
1990. to 1993. at INA-OKI as a public relation agent. From 1993. to January 31st 1999. he had his own private business. His company ART FORMA was
successful in project engineering and constructing fair interiors, interiors and scenography, as well as in graphic design and book illustrations.
"...A man has to learn to live with a computer, one of favourite Serdarevic' s themes. One has to apologize to the computer if one
comes home late at night, because it controls one's life a great deal. The only problem is to find out whether the computer can give the
satisfaction of the traditional practice given by cartoons with a pen by the ear.
It is hard to resist the cheerfulness and the laughter while watching the
cartoons, as it is shown in one of Seno' s cartoons: the doll that will have to frighten the birds at the just sown field can' t resist pecking , tickling of a small and brave bird..."
Fedor Kritovac
"...There are few people today who give to others their agitated soul and their personality. However there are even less of them who are ready to listen and understand others. It is hard to follow our own thoughts and
ideas, but it is even harder to understand ideas of other people and turn them into something nice and permanent
SENO, you could done it.
You expressed your intimacy best through cartoons, you were discreet in your religion, cherishing your own and respecting someone elses opinion.
Seno the engineer, Seno the artist, Seno the mountclimber, Seno the designer, Seno the husband and the father, Seno the computer lover, Seno the cartoonist.
SENO, how do you manage all that? Do you sleep at night? You are in a hurry, SENO! We will follow you."
(The funeral speech given by his colleague from Zagrebplast, B.Sc. Vladimir Domovic)
"...He won a flattering title of the cartoonist of the year at the FECO Festival of cartoons in Edinburg (the city which was named after his son Edin). He won it for the cartoon representing a climber who takes a
photograph of himself on the top of the mountain, but as there is not enough of the place for the camera, he has put it on the joint boards over the abyss.
By adjusting his hand to the soft movement of paint brush, Seno poetically follows an idea. His clearly contoured drawing matches perfectly the simplicity of ideas, without the surplus of unnecessary
afterthoughts, and with this clearly concepted message childishly animated in the softness of its lines. The strength of his drawings and ideas has smashed the pettiness of the local frame and found its refuge in the
cosmopolitan cartoon."
