Artist Statement:
Archetypal Expressionism
Archetypal Expressionism lies
between the two major
paradigms of contemporary art,
the figurative and the
abstract. It represents the
spiritual quest for common
cultural roots beyond the
tragic accidents of history.
It is a fascinating approach
to rediscovering that Tahiti
of our collective memory
through the shapes and the
exotic figures of our inner
lives. It is art suspended
between the real and the
imaginary, and it needs rigor
and mystery, arithmetic and
lyricism, simplicity and
paradox.
My work concept as a visual
artist, archetypal
expressionism, though could be
considered a new one, it
describes an immemorial
artistic reality. Archetypal
expressionism is indeed a new
concept and yet it echoes an
ancient tradition in making
art, also specific to cultures
of a remote past.
Strong colors, deformities and
a special sensitivity to
imagine the world are not
exclusively the prerogatives
of modern expressionists.

fields are real, a mystery of
the universe. The archetypal
cosmos is atemporal; it only
contains a virtual germ of
time. A well-known specialist
in Mircea Eliade's work, Prof.

Artist Reviews:
Text and Time - Constantin
Severin
Symbols, lines, surfaces,
spaces. All the humanity is
made of misterious symbols.
And Constantin Severin uses
them to write a new language
of art. A language made of
concepts, feelings, colours
and emotions.
Constantin travels in the
past, in the acient times and
dimensions, to ...
