“Cacti is the new theme of D. Konstantinou’s paintings – a subject that is loaded with the prominent significance it imparts to it and the skillful way of processing it with bright colors, purity, detailed drawing and distinct diligence in the depiction of different textures, initially recalling color lithographs of plants and flowers of excellent precision and elegance, illustrated in19th century natural history publications.
With the assemblage of various real species, she finally creates new, fantastic
species-mutated cactus hybrids, which monumentally occupy the painting surface,
creating a highly dreamlike, metaphysical atmosphere where, with tension and
surreal, often playful and subversive mood, the erotic element arises…”
writes Art Historian Giannis Bolis.
