About

Constance DelGiudice, born in New York and now a Florida-based artist, primarily works with oil paint. She is captivated by life from the romanticism era to the onset of contemporary times, a period marked by the rise of the middle class and the growth of individuality, yet deeply rooted in strong family connections. Constance seeks to capture these themes by focusing on the everyday, mundane, and universal moments, inviting viewers into recognizable themes of warmth, safety, individuality, and occasional melancholy.

Constance's artwork draws inspiration from the old masters such as Carl Holsoe, Anna Alma-Tadema, Mary Cassatt, and Cecilia Beaux, who depicted themes surrounding women and their environments. Using classical techniques in her oil paintings, she starts with an underpainting and builds layers through glazing and opaque applications, ensuring archival and safe painting practices.

Her paintings are characterized by their soft color palette, with occasional pops of color, creating a gentle, inviting atmosphere. She often paints traditional interiors rich with fabrics, wood, and elements that tell stories of care and craftsmanship, with many interiors void of figures, allowing the space itself to speak of the lives lived within them. In her portraits of women and children, she captures the essence and individuality of her subjects through soft, emotive brushstrokes, bringing their stories to life.

Constance has always been involved in the arts, initially as a ballroom dancer and now as a passionate painter. She continues to engage in art classes out of her love for learning and improving her skills. In addition to her artistic pursuits, Constance serves as a licensed clinical mental health therapist, with a doctorate in counseling psychology. She has dedicated much of her life to helping others embrace and express their value to themselves and society.
