This mesmerizing painting by Constantin Roucault captures the serene yet surreal essence of suburban life. A large, two-story house stands majestically with its white and blue hues against a warm-toned lawn, rendered with vivid brushwork that adds texture and movement. The sky, adorned with muted earth tones and round white spots like stars, casts a cosmic and dreamlike aura over the scene. The combination of realistic elements and impressionistic touches evokes a sense of quiet isolation and magical wonder, blending nostalgia with contemporary surrealism. This artwork invites viewers to explore the ordinary through an extraordinary lens.
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.
