Constantin Roucault, Switzerland

Constantin, born in 1984, is a contemporary artist from the canton of Fribourg. After earning his Master of Law (MLaw) degree from the University of Fribourg in 2011, he embarked on an academic career in jurisprudence. Over time, however, his focus increasingly shifted towards visual arts. Through various workshops and private art courses, he deepened his artistic skills, refined his drawing techniques, and expanded his artistic approach. Oil paint became his preferred medium—chosen for its vibrant color palette, depth, and ability to create an emotional connection with the audience. Occasionally, Constantin integrates additional techniques such as acrylic, ink, charcoal, collage, and screen printing, enriching his works with diverse textures and layers. Constantin’s body of work has evolved into various series, each exploring its own themes and stylistic approaches. They reflect his ongoing artistic exploration and development. In his art, Constantin explores the tension between the man-made world and nature—both in their contrast and harmony. Some of his urban motifs, featuring graphic lines and imaginative elements, lend a playful touch to cityscapes. In his abstract works, he examines the energy and movement of waves, inspired by the power of nature. Other pieces resemble a narrative journey full of hidden truths—a labyrinth of mirrors where each viewer confronts their own desires, fears, and emotions.
