BIOGRAPHY
Daria Konshtik was born in Makeyevka, Ukraine in 1985 (former USSR). In 1995 she immigrated to Israel, currently lives and works in Tel Aviv. Konshtik is a multidisciplinary artist working with painting, drawing, photography, and video-art.
Konshtik derives inspiration from fairy tales, myths and legends, “framing” her imaginary and at times naïve works with painted decorative ornaments, stylized with bold and vivid colours. In her work she interweaves patterns and textures from different cultures, creating never-ending "maps" covering her canvases.
Traditional symbols, folklore, and cultural customs in Konshtik works are characterized as psychological constructs at the boundary of the conscious and unconscious, between the personal and the collective.
