Description of the Artwork “Disguise”
"Disguise" is intended to be a thought-provoking and introspective painting that delves into the complexities of human emotions and societal expectations. The use of mixed techniques such as oil and acrylic can create a visually rich and textured artwork, enhancing the depth of the message conveyed. The portrayal of a woman with full, long black hair, her face obscured yet hinting at a smile, invites viewers to ponder the nature of her emotions. The ambiguity of whether it's a happy smile or a façade adds layers of interpretation to this piece. The concept of disguise and societal conformity is a compelling theme in art, as it resonates with the human experience of navigating between authentic self-expression and societal norms. The idea of wearing a figurative mask to conform to societal expectations while hiding one's true feelings and identity is relatable to many. "Disguise" encourages viewers to reflect on their own experiences with societal expectations and the masks they wear

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.
