Description of the Artwork “La Reina del Plata”
"La Reina del Plata" is an evocative oil painting capturing an urban scene in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires. Rendered in loose brushwork, the composition breathes life into the bustling cityscape. The foreground features a few pedestrians walking along the sidewalk, each absorbed in their daily routines. Behind them, a row of buildings stands tall, their architectural details subtly suggested through the painter's expressive strokes. A sidewalk extends beyond the buildings, leading the viewer's eye further into the depth of the scene. Dominating the background, a majestic dome rises against the expanse of a clear blue sky, its presence adding a touch of grandeur to the everyday setting. The painting's dynamic brushwork and vivid portrayal of Buenos Aires encapsulate the essence of urban life in this iconic city.
Artwork in the interior
Constantin Roucault, Switzerland
Constantin Roucault, a contemporary Swiss artist who draws inspiration from the cubist representation of urban and industrial subjects found in the works of American painters Charles Sheeler, Charles Demuth, and, to some extent, Edward Hopper. This early influence propelled him towards embracing the artistic style. The city and nature, in their myriad forms, have remained enduring sources of inspiration for Constantin throughout his artistic journey. His artworks navigate the intersection of figurative and graphic styles, oscillating between abstraction and realism. Central to his creative process is the use of oil paint, a fundamental medium that brings his visions to life. In certain instances, Constantin incorporates diverse media and techniques, including acrylic, ink, charcoal, collage, and screen printing, to enhance the expressive depth of his creations. This versatile approach allows him to explore and push the boundaries of artistic representation, creating a body of work that resonates with both abstraction and the tangible reality of the subjects he portrays.
