Bogdan Constantin paints defiance of expectations.
Constantine is a symbolic painter bordering on the surreal. But like all great surrealists, he is precise, and his painting is often breath-taking in its accuracy and power. Take a running white horse in a turn: the power is off the canvas. Or the character of a complex man, handsomely captured in a portrait. Any museum would be lucky to have such a piece; the floor would be worn from the standing and staring.
Constantine, a Romanian artist living in Cavan with his family is in the private collections of many of Ireland’s and European’s most discerning buyers because of the extremely high quality of his painting and drawing. The work holds your attention and you find yourself coming back to the pieces over and over as they provoke deeper musing, like great music that you listen to over and over.
