Daria Konshtik
Daria Konshtik was born in Makeyevka, Ukraine in 1985 (former USSR). In 1995 she immigrated to Israel, currently lives and works in Tel Aviv. Konshtik Graduated Minshar School of Art in 2017, and Camera Obscura in 2021. Konshtik works with various of media including painting, drawing, photography, and video-art. She is a member of the Israeli Professional Visual Artists Association. Konshtik has exhibited her works in Israel and abroad. In 2025 she has participated in one of the most prominent art fairs in Israel – Fresh Paint. She sold works at auctions; TIROCHE Auction House, Israel; CATAWIKI, Online Auction, Amsterdam. Her work is included in private collections in Israel and abroad; Switzerland, Spain, USA.
In her works, Daria Konshtik deals with questions of identity and belonging through the language of legends and folklore. Her paintings combine naive-style motifs against a backdrop of rich decorative structures - repeating patterns that fill the space with a density reminiscent of classical wallpaper. A tangle of symbols intertwines, juxtapose or merge into pattern-like landscapes that threaten to continue spreading beyond the canvas. The images, enigmatic and mysterious, are taken from here and there and reflect a cultural fragmentation that becomes a visual and identity richness.
