Paintings Bookshelves. Artist Sergey Konstantinov.

The creative proposal for this painting originated from Ann Getty, who desired a painting of a bookshelf. I designed a composition of two bookshelves side-by-side in a diptych style. Each bookshelf is divided into four parts, exhibiting disciplines of the humanities: theatre, literature, and art. The masks displayed at the top shelves are recognized as a symbol of theatre and drama, and originate from Greek mythology. I sketched the masks to determine the placement of the comedy and tragedy character. Old but precious books line the middle shelves, with each book presenting a title of Getty’s favorite author. The delicate art of blue and white Porcelain Delft pottery is displayed below the literary works.

Persian Room. Painting oil-canvas. Art studio Sergey Konstantinov.
Wine tasting room is framed by 18th century French limestone wall with hand-etched glass Art Deco door opening to the wine cellar with French limestone barrel-vaulted ceiling, wine racks, and hidden wine storage space, crowned with the head of Bacchus, the god of wine, in a stained glass window.

This custom hand-painted Persian Room mural is in the relaxation room of an Art Deco style home in San Francisco. I first sketched a composition of the room, and then painted the mural on canvas in my studio. The canvas was then attached to the wall and finished after it was installed.

This iconic Pacific Heights mansion embodies timeless architectural flourishes and modern amenities that artfully complement a contemporary metropolitan lifestyle: an uncommonly welcoming architectural tour de force.

Built for the Spreckels family in 1905 and remodeled by renowned architect Albert Farr in 1929, the 12,000-square-foot Pacific Heights mansion at 2520 Pacific Avenue was purchased from the son of former San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto (Joseph Alioto, Jr.)

What is essential? The coronavirus-related lockdowns forced everyone to reconsider priorities and look within. Amid the uncertainty, the primary role of culture has proved to be the maintenance of social cohesion and individual well-being. While some critics lamented loss of access to cultural institutions and public events, others focused on renewed appreciation for the arts online. What would quarantine be like without television, literature, music, or other art forms? The options are too dire to consider! Creative communities in Germany demanded emergency relief funding and the artists in Spain went on digital strike. Yet, a survey in Singapore found that 71% of respondents considered “artist” the most non-essential occupation during the pandemic. Meanwhile, the Getty Museum Challenge went viral with people recreating famous artworks in fun ways. This highlighted new opportunities for engagement with cultural heritage. Recently another Baroque masterpiece got destroyed during a botched restoration effort and people have called for renewal of our collective vows to protect the art for future generations. This is a moment to reflect on the push and pull between tech-driven art consumption and interest in art preservation. How do we balance our evolutionary desire for the new with the need for the security of the familiar? I sat down with Sergey Konstantinov, a Ukrainian-American artist based in San Francisco. He is an expert in restoration and conservation of paintings, murals and decorative arts; and a painter and sculptor with many original exhibited works. A unique perspective for the unprecedented times in the arts.

How do you see the art world changing during and after the pandemic?
That is quite a philosophical question. Why?! Do you think it would change the human being? I consider this an interesting time to be alive. The difference between now and then is actually about having more time to look deeper. A wall or canvas are both just surfaces. What is important is your message and energy, the purpose of a coming piece. For artists, I believe you are ahead as long as you are honing your skills. Once you’ve decided to move no further, only then you lose.
What do you make of the recent tidal wave of art appreciation online?
These viral campaigns are a successful way to elevate art education. It is no easy task to connect with the work of art, to capture its essence, to express it in your own way. The Dutch museums did their “challenge”, the Russians too. All countries have unique cultural heritage worth preserving. The process of the creative search itself is meaningful. In this case it does not matter if it is on canvas or on TikTok.
How has your creative path prepared you for these turbulent times?
I lived through the end of the Soviet Union. That was turbulent, too. I am from Ukraine, a small warm-memories town called Zhmerinka. It made my cultural DNA: friends, school, sports, the very beginning of my interest in art. Exploring Ukrainian folk art helped me to understand the true wealth of a nation. After studies, I moved to Baku but in the 1990’s there was armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. I had to ask for refugee status in America. Now, for almost 30 years, my family, studio, and the work of my life is here. My life is a creative process itself. It is where I get my inspiration, awareness of good or bad, too much or too little, alive or dead. When you go through such moments in history, you learn to never take anything for granted.
What's your first art memory and how did it impact you?
Well, there was not one thing. Maybe the beautiful icons at my grandmother’s house. They were illegal back then. The art class in my hometown where I tried to copy some famous artists. The first time I heard Swan Lake by Peter Tchaikovsky. I also cannot deny the impact of nature we are surrounded by. It has inimitable shades, color contrasts, mysteries of the universe. We breathe it all in deeply trying to find answers. I have always been confident of my own path.
What is the difference between conservation and restoration?
“First, do no harm” is a great principle in medicine and restoration of cultural heritage. I have been restoring art for a long time. I studied art history and art technologies from different eras. When it comes to restoration you need to fully understand the creators, their state of mind and intentions. The collectors like to say art is forever, we are just art’s temporary guardians. Conservation is also a technical challenge with its own long difficult history. Certain chemical solutions that were used in the past are banned now.
What inspired you to pursue original works?
You cannot force yourself into art, it begins within you. I leave a piece of myself on the canvas which is the only way to work. In life we are searching for explanations, finding nuances, changing our perspectives. That is the source of creation. There are no failures in the artistic path. Even an unsatisfactory result is your experience. I could not help the overwhelming desire in such moments. It was a painting giving me the reason to create and not vice versa.
Any advice for emerging artists trying to succeed within or outside the gallery system?
In my last year at the Lviv Academy of Art a professor told me: “Move to your own purpose, the money comes anyway.” If you want to be someone, just start now. Otherwise, you will have no time to make it right.

At the time of change, uncertainty, and instituting new traditions it is important to be able not to negate history and social cohesion. What if one day you wake up realized there is no more literature, music, painting, or any other art form? Will you still feel confident without heritage? Art can be an escape from what makes you insecure. Something calming, bringing you full circle, giving some time to think.

From this perspective, you can understand the value of conservation and restoration of art. The longer the life of a masterpiece, the more meanings it has, and the more people feel its influence. In the Japanese language there exists a special term - kasugai. This word currently has a comprehensive meaning of the link between generations and cultures although initially, it was just a connecting peace in architecture. Therefore painting is becoming a metaphor of connection by binding together civilization since the beginning.

History has witnessed many schisms and conflicts, times when society suddenly turned separated and confronted, but the art always held its position. A lot of people had to leave their countries only during the last century. Let us take USSR as an example: Shalyapin, Nabokov, Solzhenitsyn, Brodsky, Dovlatov, and countless others are on the list. All of them continued their work in exile notwithstanding the difficulties of language and entirely new circumstances. The last huge wave of emigration happened in the 1990s when the collapse took place. Not only the political issues but instability and wishing a better measure of living had its impact. Fortunately, a large number of expats became decent citizens and did their best to fit in. Sergey Konstantinov, a Ukrainian-born artist producing classical and contemporary murals, restoration, and conservation decorative arts, paintings, and sculpture, shares his story and art view.

Tell us a little bit about yourself

I came from Ukraine, a small town called Zhmerinka, and I have only warm memories of it. It made my DNA: friends, school, sports, the very beginning of my art career was also there. Then I joined the art college, where I was exploring Ukrainian folk art, which helped me to understand the wealth and the history of our nation. After that, I continued my way and enrolled in the Lviv National Academy of art to study the world culture, but, you know, from a Soviet view. Since freshman year of Academy I have been participating in exhibitions of Artists’ Union. Another step - my moving to Baku for my first work. We had some State assignments, exhibitions, and also creative works. The first commission was from the Ministry of Culture and Exhibitions Division in Moscow. In the 90s there were many conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan, so I asked for refugee status and came to San Francisco. Now, for almost 30 years, I have family, my studio, and the work of my life here in America.

What's your first memory of art and how did that have an impact on you?

Well, that was not one thing. Maybe the main one was the art class in my hometown where I’ve started to study painting and tried to copy some items of famous artists. Also, monasteries and temples inspired me a lot and the beautiful icons at my grandmother’s house. And music, of course, Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky. I can’t choose one of them.

What are you currently working on?

It’s a portrait “Boy with bird”. I have a number of them, but they are all different. And all meant for me.

How do you see art world changing after pandemic?

Why? Do you think it would change the human being? I consider it an interesting time to be alive. I guess there will be numerous studies and artworks reflecting the difference between now and then. But actually, it is all about having free time to look deeper.

Who/what has had the biggest impact on your career?

Nobody. I mean “never meet your heroes”. If you want to be someone, just start now. Otherwise, you will have no time to make it the right way. I have always been confident that I am on my own path. And now I can only thank people I met through the adventure of a lifetime for the experience and knowledge. Also, I cannot deny the impact of the nature which we are surrounded by. Look, it has inimitable shades, color contrasts, mysteries of the universe - we breathe it deeply trying to find our answers.

Do you approach a painting on a canvas the same way as you do on a mural?

A wall and canvas are both just surfaces. What is important is your message and energy. It makes no difference whether I paint a canvas or a mural, all I care about is the purpose of a coming piece.

What do you want the viewer to feel when they see your artworks?

Everybody sees it differently. I trust my viewers, so all I can do is to let out my emotions, feelings, and perception of the world. I leave a piece of myself on the canvas which is the only reason to work. If it resonates it’s my pleasure. Another way I reserve them the right to overlook it.

Tell us a story about the most difficult artwork you have ever created. What made it difficult?

Once I was commissioned a mural of a room. The building was constructed on the designer’s sketch, and my task was to visually combine and harmonize the interior using colors. I had to find a color that could connect all the items: golden sconces, mirrors, and other furniture. It was hard but exhilarating. I like a challenge, it gives me satisfaction. It took me 2 months to finally depict what was on my mind. The routine practice I had that days was to take pictures in the morning and to plan my tomorrow work - the system helps you to keep it in check and to avoid any mistakes.

How has your work evolved?

That is quite a philosophical question. I believe you are ahead as long as you honing your skills. Once you decided to be no further forward, you lose.

I’d also like to explore your journey through the art world. We all have different pathways to sustain ourselves. Have you found yourself thriving in the typical gallery system? Or outside of it?

I was restoring art for a long time, that had an impact on my approach to work. I’ve been studying history and art technologies for a long time because when it comes to restoration you need to fully understand the creator, especially his state of mind and focus. Now you can see the result. I am interested in classics but I also pay attention to modern realities, which means I feel comfortable inside and out of the gallery system.

How do you approach failure and picking yourself back up?

I prefer to say the shortcomings. There are no failures in the path. Even an unsatisfactory result is your experience. You can give a fight to your weaknesses, it will make you stronger, so you will have a better outcome next time. It is never too late to fix the situation.

Your home is your studio - how do you balance everyday life with creativity?

Now, most of the people have their home studios given the pandemic. I am lucky to be prepared for such circumstances. My life is a creative process itself. It is where I get my inspiration, awareness of good or bad, too much or too little, alive or dead. Death is also an artistic touch giving you new images, by the way.

What inspired this new work?

During the lifetime experience you are searching for explanation, finding nuances, and changing your perspective. That is where creation has its source - you cannot force yourself to art but it begins from within ourselves. I just can’t help the overwhelming desire I have at these moments, but it is a painting giving me the reason to create and not vice versa

What informs your palette?

It is the law of painting technique to value cool and warm colors. You need only 5 colors to create a unique tone. Both the morning and the evening have their shades, so have every emotion you are trying to reflect. My palette is about the human condition and soul.

Any practical business advice for emerging artists looking to establish themselves?

I was in my last year of Academy of art when the professor told me: “Move to your purpose, the money comes anyway”. If it helps somebody, take it. That is just the way I live.

Арт студия Сергея Константинова Сан Франциско

Во времена перемен, неопределенности и установления новых традиций важно уметь не сводить на нет историю и социальную сплоченность. Что, если однажды вы проснетесь и поймете, что больше нет ни литературы, ни музыки, ни живописи, ни какой-либо другой формы искусства? Будете ли вы по-прежнему чувствовать себя уверенно без наследия? Искусство может быть бегством от того, что делает вас неуверенным. Что-то успокаивающее, приводящее вас в полный круг, дающее время подумать.

С этой точки зрения можно понять ценность сохранения и реставрации произведений искусства. Чем дольше живет шедевр, тем больше смыслов он имеет, и тем больше люди ощущают его влияние. В японском языке существует специальный термин-касугай. Это слово в настоящее время имеет всеобъемлющее значение связи между поколениями и культурами, хотя изначально оно было просто связующим звеном в архитектуре. Поэтому живопись становится метафорой связи, связывая воедино цивилизацию с самого начала.

История была свидетелем многих расколов и конфликтов, времен, когда общество внезапно разделялось и сталкивалось, но искусство всегда оставалось на своем месте. Многие люди вынуждены были покинуть свои страны только в прошлом веке. Возьмем для примера СССР: Шаляпин, Набоков, Солженицын, Бродский, Довлатов и бесчисленное множество других. Все они продолжали свою работу в эмиграции, несмотря на трудности языка и совершенно новые обстоятельства. Последняя огромная волна эмиграции пришлась на 1990-е годы, когда произошел коллапс. Сказались не только политические проблемы, но и нестабильность и желание жить лучше. К счастью, большое количество эмигрантов стали порядочными гражданами и сделали все возможное, чтобы вписаться в общество. Сергей Константинов, художник украинского происхождения, создающий классические и современные фрески, реставрационные и консервационные декоративные произведения, живопись и скульптуру, делится своей историей и взглядом на искусство.

Расскажите нам немного о себе

Я приехал из Украины, из маленького городка под названием Жмеринка, и у меня остались о нем только теплые воспоминания. Это сделало мою ДНК: друзья, школа, Спорт, самое начало моей художественной карьеры тоже было там. Затем я поступил в художественное училище, где изучал украинское народное творчество, что помогло мне понять богатство и историю нашего народа. После этого я продолжил свой путь и поступил во Львовскую национальную академию искусств, чтобы изучать мировую культуру, но, знаете ли, с советской точки зрения. С первого курса Академии я принимаю участие в выставках Союза художников. Еще один шаг-переезд в Баку для моей первой работы. У нас были какие-то государственные задания, выставки, а также творческие работы. Первая комиссия была из отдела Министерства культуры и выставок в Москве. В 90-е годы между Арменией и Азербайджаном было много конфликтов, поэтому я попросил статус беженца и приехал в Сан-Франциско. Теперь, в течение почти 30 лет, у меня есть семья, моя студия и работа всей моей жизни здесь, в Америке.

Каково ваше первое воспоминание об искусстве и как оно повлияло на вас?

Ну, это не одно и то же. Может быть, главным из них был художественный класс в моем родном городе, где я начал изучать живопись и пытался скопировать некоторые предметы известных художников. Кроме того, монастыри и храмы очень вдохновляли меня, а также прекрасные иконы в доме моей бабушки. И музыка, конечно, "Лебединое озеро" Чайковского. Я не могу выбрать ни одного из них.

Над чем вы сейчас работаете?

Это портрет "мальчик с птицей". У меня их несколько, но все они разные. И все это предназначалось мне.

Как вы видите, мир искусства меняется после пандемии?

Почему? Как вы думаете, это изменит человека? Я считаю, что это интересное время, чтобы быть живым. Я думаю, что будет много исследований и произведений искусства, отражающих разницу между настоящим и будущим. Но на самом деле все дело в том, чтобы иметь свободное время, чтобы заглянуть глубже.

Кто/что оказало наибольшее влияние на вашу карьеру?

Никто. Я имею в виду “никогда не встречай своих героев”. Если вы хотите быть кем-то, просто начните прямо сейчас. В противном случае у вас не будет времени, чтобы сделать это правильно. Я всегда был уверен, что нахожусь на своем собственном пути. И теперь я могу только поблагодарить людей, которых я встретил через приключение всей своей жизни, за опыт и знания. Кроме того, я не могу отрицать влияния природы, которая нас окружает. Посмотрите, у него есть неповторимые оттенки, цветовые контрасты, тайны Вселенной - мы глубоко вдыхаем его, пытаясь найти ответы.

Подходите ли вы к картине на холсте так же, как к фреске?

Стена и холст-это просто поверхности. Что важно, так это ваше послание и энергия. Не имеет значения, пишу ли я холст или фреску, все, что меня волнует, - это цель предстоящего произведения.

Что вы хотите, чтобы зритель почувствовал, когда увидит ваши работы?

Все видят это по-разному. Я доверяю своим зрителям, поэтому все, что я могу сделать, - это выпустить наружу свои эмоции, чувства и восприятие мира. Я оставляю на холсте частичку себя, что является единственной причиной для работы. Если он резонирует, это мое удовольствие. С другой стороны, я оставляю за ними право не обращать на это внимания.

Расскажите нам историю о самом сложном произведении искусства, которое вы когда-либо создавали. Почему это было так трудно?

Однажды мне заказали роспись комнаты. Здание было построено по эскизу дизайнера, и моей задачей было визуально объединить и гармонизировать интерьер с помощью цветов. Мне нужно было найти цвет, который мог бы соединить все предметы: золотые бра, зеркала и другую мебель. Это было трудно, но волнующе. Я люблю вызов, он приносит мне удовлетворение. Мне потребовалось 2 месяца, чтобы наконец изобразить то, что было у меня на уме. Рутинная практика, которую я имел в те дни, состояла в том, чтобы фотографировать утром и планировать свою завтрашнюю работу - система помогает вам держать ее в узде и избегать любых ошибок.

Как развивалась ваша работа?

Это вполне философский вопрос. Я верю, что вы впереди, пока вы оттачиваете свои навыки. Как только вы решили не двигаться дальше, вы проиграли.

Я также хотел бы исследовать ваше путешествие по миру искусства. У всех нас есть разные пути, чтобы поддерживать себя. Вы обнаружили, что процветаете в типичной галерейной системе? Или за его пределами?

Я долгое время занимался реставрацией произведений искусства, что повлияло на мой подход к работе. Я уже давно изучаю историю и художественные технологии, потому что, когда речь заходит о реставрации, нужно полностью понять Творца, особенно его душевное состояние и сосредоточенность. Теперь вы можете видеть результат. Меня интересует классика, но я также обращаю внимание на современные реалии, а это значит, что я чувствую себя комфортно внутри и вне системы галерей.

Как вы подходите к неудаче и поднимаете себя обратно?

Я предпочитаю говорить о недостатках. На этом пути нет неудач. Даже неудовлетворительный результат - это ваш опыт. Вы можете дать бой своим слабостям, это сделает вас сильнее, так что в следующий раз у вас будет лучший результат. Исправить ситуацию никогда не поздно.

Ваш дом-это ваша студия - как вы уравновешиваете повседневную жизнь с творчеством?

Теперь большинство людей имеют свои домашние студии, учитывая пандемию. Мне повезло, что я оказался готов к таким обстоятельствам. Моя жизнь-это сам творческий процесс. Именно там я черпаю вдохновение, осознавая хорошее или плохое, слишком много или слишком мало, живое или мертвое. Кстати, смерть-это еще и художественный штрих, дающий вам новые образы.

Что вдохновило вас на эту новую работу?

Во время жизненного опыта вы ищете объяснения, находите нюансы и меняете свою точку зрения. Вот где творение имеет свой источник - вы не можете принудить себя к искусству, но оно начинается изнутри нас самих. Я просто не могу справиться с непреодолимым желанием, которое я испытываю в эти моменты, но это картина, дающая мне повод творить, а не наоборот

Что сообщает ваша палитра?

Это закон техники живописи-ценить холодные и теплые цвета. Вам нужно всего 5 цветов, чтобы создать уникальный тон. И утро, и вечер имеют свои оттенки, поэтому имейте каждую эмоцию, которую вы пытаетесь отразить. Моя палитра посвящена состоянию человека и его душе.

Есть ли практические бизнес-советы для начинающих художников, желающих утвердиться?

Я был на последнем курсе Академии художеств, когда профессор сказал мне:”двигайся к своей цели, деньги все равно придут". Если это кому-то поможет, берите. Именно так я и живу.
