To enter in the fantasy world of russian artist Constantine Kansky is to enter in the fairy tale that takes you from the ordinary life to the ideal land like Earthsea of Ursula LeGuin. That land exists somewhere near ours as the parallel reality that in mystic and subtle way appears in dreams and reveries. There are no cars and skyscrapers, TV and atom electric stations, violence and wars, homeless and "new russians". There the hot cold autumn tenderly turns into the warm summer winter.

The creative work of Kansky is another proof that the world is still living by the dream. He creates the image of the land where you want to live. You can see how the boats are gliding by the always calm seas and how the carnival persons leave them and start to fish or to play on the flutes, violins or strange guitars. There the boy with the wise book on his knees and the goose pen in his hand is sitting on the ... to see complete biography, click on artists name Country: Russia Birthyear: 1968 Galleries: www.kansky-art.com/ru Romantic extravaganza by eyes of modern fabler.
