BIO/STATEMENT
Constantine Cionca is a New York based artist, involving in arts for over thirty years, working in a variety of creative medium as oil, acrylic, mixed media, computer generated artistic forms.
"I am confronting as an artist to feed your curiosity about me; I am a creator, a witness of nature's appearance, and a maker in an act of self-encounter. You are invited to glimpse into my private realms of my "gallery" at http://www.cultureinside.com/348/section.aspx/ViewProfile/4949, as at http://www.constantine-ikonartstud1.com that includes digital photos, paintings, illustrations, video and digital art.
If I wouldn't believe in my art and it’s meaning certainly I wouldn't do it. I'm always interested in using new tools and improving my artistic technical skills. I discovered that computer generated art is as traditional art a technique a way that frees my imagination and my creative nature, a vehicle for translating my inner vision to the outer reality.
Digital art this "new voice" as painting under the aesthetic consideration is also an art of picking up lines, forms, and colors, balanced them by the composition order. I take a piece of "stone" chisel it with bytes until the NET cube came out perfect."
