Konstantin Art
Biography
Constantin is a contemporary artist from Fribourg, renowned for his ability to infuse emotional resonance and layered meaning into his works. His primary medium is oil paint, which he treasures for its unparalleled versatility, richness, and the depth it brings to his creations. However, Constantin is not bound by tradition alone. He skillfully incorporates other techniques, such as acrylic, ink, charcoal, collage, and screen printing, using these methods to push the boundaries of his artistic expression and create intricate, multidimensional compositions.
At the heart of Constantin's art lies a profound exploration of the interplay between the man-made world and the natural environment. His works often reveal this dynamic through striking contrasts and unexpected harmonies. Urban motifs, with their sharp graphic lines and whimsical, imaginative elements, transform everyday cityscapes into playful and thought-provoking visual narratives. In his abstract pieces, Constantin delves into the primal energy and perpetual motion of natural phenomena, particularly waves, capturing their raw power and fluidity as symbols of life's ceaseless ebb and flow.
Beyond the urban and the abstract, Constantin's oeuvre is imbued with a deeper sense of storytelling. Some of his works resemble visual labyrinths, inviting viewers on an introspective journey through layers of hidden truths. Like navigating a hall of mirrors, these pieces encourage a personal confrontation with one’s innermost desires, fears, and emotions, offering a space for reflection and discovery. Through his art, Constantin masterfully invites his audience to connect with the world, both external and internal, in new and transformative ways.
