It was there that he met Vladimir Tsesler, beginning a long and fruitful creative partnership. Voychenko earned his first major recognition in 1984 for his History of Minsk poster series.

Sergey Voychenko (Belarusian: Сяргей Войчанка, Siarhiej Vojchanka; Russian: Серге́й Войченко) (15 November 1955 – 9 December 2004) was a Belarusian artist and designer known for his creative posters and photography art work together with his partner Vladimir Tsesler.

Sergey Voychenko was born in Mariupol, Ukraine but his family moved to Minsk, Belarus (where his family roots were) when he was four years old. In 1969 he enrolled in an art school where he studied art and sculpture, and in 1975 got accepted to the Belarusian Art Academy, the department of design, where he met his future co-author Vladimir Tsesler.
