ZÉBRE VERT (2021) Painting by Konoko

KONOKO (Tatiana KONONENKO) is a French contemporary artist, who lives and works in Provence. From a young age, KONOKO decided to become an artist. A first training lasting 5 years in a plastic arts school for young artists, allowed him to acquire the fundamental bases necessary for the expression of his creativity, to then continue his course in a higher education school of Beaux- Arts for 6 years.

This natural sensitivity is reflected in his works, so richly colored; where the mastery of the use of complementary colors makes the rich luminous and chromatic contrasts vibrate, without resorting to the color black.

ionate about oil painting, KONOKO strives to express and transmit to us her perception of the world, by combining the use of classic oil paint in tubes, with that of modern oil sticks, in successive layers and all enhanced with clearly visible features, thus helping to assert shapes and colors with great character. Such multi-layer painting amplifies light effects, as well as color contrasts; for a better perception of volumes in the space within which the viewer's eye is immersed.

Thanks to his tireless observation of the world around him and the daily life that drives him, and taking advantage of his travels in Europe; KONOKO never stops making sketches and filling numerous travel journals.

By using different mediums, such as oil, gouache, watercolor, colored pencils, pastel pencils, dry or oil pastels, with the most perfect mastery; KONOKO has been able to develop its own style thanks to its own oil painting technique, resulting in the creation of original works.
