Artist's Statement -"Nothing More Exciting"


	Konstantin Art \| home Artist's Statement -"Nothing More Exciting" Artist's Statement -"Nothing More Exciting" "Nothing More Exciting" "Only the human figure exists; landscape is, and should be, no more than an accessory... The sole function of landscape is to heighten the intelligibility of the character of the figure." These are the words of my kindred spirit, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. I would continue: There is nothing more exciting than a human face. The encounter point of all the natural forces, the exhibit of all features of the natural landscape. A kind of theatrical stage where one could see all these classic plays sometimes featured all together. There is particularly nothing more compelling than the human eyes, these magnets who attract or repel but always intrigue and always remain a secret. Trying to understand this secret is my challenge. There is nothing more exciting than this exhausting journey throughout the secret lands of thoughts and feelings. Nothing more exciting than jumping in the obscure water of the subconscious when artist and model unite, adopt the same rhythm of breathing. There is nothing more exciting than people’s first reaction after seeing their own or their loved one’s portrait. There is nothing more exciting than the gratitude you receive to have been able to reach intrinsic truths in such a limited time and to better understand the person in some ways than many other people have been able to after years of interaction. What is the color palette of this excitement? You could see for yourself. There is nothing more exciting than the colors of life. This is why I am not afraid, on the contrary, I am delighted to use them. I love life. I love all of you.
