"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 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.
