He studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague from 1939 - 1944, and graduated in 1944, becoming a member of The Hague Art Circle in 1946. In 1948 he became a teacher at the Free Academy of Fine Arts Workshop in The Hague. From 1958 - 1978 Berserik was a teacher printing and illustration techniques at the Royal Academy of Fine Art in 1963 and active member of the Hague art club 'Pulchri Studio'. He was also a member of the Federation of Professional Visual Artists in Amsterdam. Berserik did a lot of commissioned work: posters, small prints and illustrations. He signed commercials for Philips, the Dutch royal mail and KLM. So he made more than 300 covers and illustrations for books for publishers including The Hague, Ooievaar pockets and Querido Salamander pockets, both comparable with the Penguin Books. In 1959 he made cartoon film about the construction of the Delta Works in the southwest of the Netherlands in commission of the public relation department of the water management authorities. Between 1953 and 1976 he designed costumes and stages for eight different theater productions. Berserik made over 1500 paintings, portraits, still lives, city and seascapes and landscapes. He also made architectural commissions, laying mosaics, reliefs and murals in the district of The Hague where he spent his youth. Most of them are now destroyed because the buildings they were part of were pulled down.
