Now I always wondered from whom and which side of my family I inherited my creative streak; My lovely Aunt, Constantina has evolved her creative streak into paintings (and they are quite good to!)
Sisters By Constantina Wood
Her art reflects her love of storytelling as well as the quest for self-discovery and one’s spiritual transformation. Her earliest work covers her own personal spiritual process and aspects of womanhood. The image of a soul passing through the worldly plane is vividly conveyed. A series of etchings illustrate the mythology and mysticism surrounding the Baal Shem Tov, Israel ben Eliezer, one of the early founders of the Hasidic movement in Poland in the seventeenth century.
Her unique style is influenced by medieval illustrated manuscripts, Russian and Coptic iconography, the Old Masters and an infinite imaginative capacity. Constantina’s art is both immediate and energetic; vibrant and alive.

Descent of the Holy Spirit by Constantina Wood
She is also showcasing some of her work on the Bayswater road on the edge of Hyde Park in London.
So if any of you are in or around that area on Sunday’s commencing from the 11th July, go and say hello and have a look at her work.
