| What: |
|
My Art, My Life, surrealist
paintings by Konstantin Konstantinov
Konstantinov's paintings create a narrative scene, some kind of
story. These stories are his interpretations of nature and the social
world around him--visual metaphors that in a poetic way represent
valid interpretations of reality.

| Quotes: |
|
“My art is my life: I must
create a scene, which need to be narrative-some kind of story, in
order to interact with reality. These stories are my interpretations
of nature and the social world around me. They are visual metaphors,
which, in a poetic way, represent valid interpretations of reality.”
“I believe human beings should cultivate diverse modes of
thinking in order to have a sense of fulfillment of their various
needs and to lead harmonious lives.”
Konstantin Konstantinov
