This painting is a visual symphony of New York’s relentless vibrancy and dynamic spirit. Constantin Roucault masterfully composes a scene bustling with life, using a rich palette of fiery reds, effervescent yellows, playful pinks, and serene blues. Each stroke and color choice is infused with the artist’s perception of New York as a living, breathing entity, ever full of motion and color. Beyond its picturesque quality, the artwork serves as a metaphor for the city's intrinsic warmth, energy, and the perpetual motion of people and traffic. Through its abstract depiction, 'Busy New York' invites viewers into an immersive experience of the city's unmistakable rhythm and vitality.
Constantin is a contemporary artist from Fribourg. His main medium is oil paint, which he greatly values for its versatility and depth. Additionally, he uses other techniques like acrylic, ink, charcoal, collage, and screen printing to add more depth and expression to his works. In his art, Constantin shows the contrast and harmony between the man-made world and nature. Some of his urban motifs with graphic lines and imaginative elements give the city environment a playful touch. In his abstract works, he explores the energy and movement of waves, inspired by the power of nature. Other works resemble a narrative journey full of hidden truths – like a labyrinth of mirrors where everyone faces their own desires, fears, and emotions.
