“Constantine Nicholas stands out as an artist who creates rhythms on the surface with dark colors and uses his artistic skills to construct a definition of existence rather than merely an expression. In his works, the depth of colors and textures functions like a visual dance, providing both an aesthetic and intellectual experience for the viewer. His dark color palette imparts a mystical quality to the pieces, while his masterful management of rhythms on the surface guides the viewer into deep meditation and inner exploration. Nicholas’ work transcends traditional artistic concepts by treating color and form as aspects of existence rather than just tools of expression. His approach highlights that colors should not merely serve as a means of expression but should also embody a form of existence. The rich tones and layered structures of dark colors in his artworks not only create a visual effect but also offer a form of existential awareness and inquiry. This method provides viewers with an opportunity to establish a deeper understanding and connection. In conclusion, Constantine Nicholas’s art challenges the boundaries of color and surface, integrating artistic expression with a definition of existence. The rhythmic use of dark colors and the profound textures in his work provide not only visual richness but also existential depth. Nicholas’s unique approach expands the limits of modern art, offering viewers both a thought-provoking and aesthetically engaging journey.” Erinilk Canaslan

“Exploring material forms takes me to the edge of what is abstract. I’m inspired to experiment with the density of light and darkness. Works can take form by how I connect with materials at hand, to imply a causation or physical change. A series of lines can take on a form that invades a composition – to a smear of pigment that can obliterate and smother a surface with light. I tend not to try finish work formally. I work with modular panels, one at a time (scrubbing, scraping, dragging materials on surfaces) then assemble these randomly to complete a work in situ or by installing arbitrarily in a group”.
