Constantin Flondor

Constantin Flondor (b. 1936, Cernăuți) is a central figure of the Timișoara art scene and an internationally recognized artist, known for his activity as co-founder of the experimental groups 1+1+1 (1966–1969), Sigma (1969–1981), and Prolog (since 1985). His practice is deeply connected to a pedagogical and experimental approach, developed in the 1970s together with his colleagues at the Art High School in Timișoara, and later extended through his role as visiting professor at the Beratzhausen summer schools in Germany (since 1993).

Flondor’s work unfolds across a wide range of media, including installation, performance, drawing, painting, film, mail art, and collaborative interventions in nature, often realized alongside fellow artists and students. His artistic research is centered on the observation and interpretation of the living world, exploring the relationships between organic structures and geometry, as well as between the mysterious laws of nature and the rigor of mathematical systems.

Through a contemplative and immersive practice, Constantin Flondor investigates the structure, fabric, and logic of the environment, proposing an artistic methodology that embraces experimentation and the generative potential of chance.
