This mosaic masterfully conveys the transformative meditation of Prince Siddhartha in the wild solitude of Arañña, the forest. As he ventures into profound fasting and meditation, the artwork encapsulates his spiritual journey toward becoming Buddha. Wild plants and colorful patterns entwine around his form, symbolizing the complex interplay of the physical and the transcendent. Through abstract and vibrant design, the piece not only decorates but also delves into the essence of seeking enlightenment, inviting reflection on the deep, personal quest for understanding and control over body and mind.
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.
