Context: Ştefan Constantinescu, (born 10 February 1968), is a Swedish-Romanian visual artist and film director living and working in Stockholm.  He works with various mediums including film, artist books and paintings approaching the political through introspection to challenge notions of identity, while working in and with issues of post-communist Romania.  Constantinescu grew up in Romania during the most austere years of communism, where an ordinary day began with a queue for almost anything (bread, shampoo, gas) - days of routine.  As a result his work is often strongly autobiographical.  Within the work, monuments are challenged as permanent inscriptions of memory, fictional films resemble unofficial documentaries, and artist books challenge history and education.

His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism.  Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually deeply explored color theory, writing about it extensively; his lectures "Writings on Form and Design Theory" ("Schriften zur Form und Gestaltungslehre"), published in English as the "Paul Klee Notebooks", are held to be as important for modern art as Leonardo da Vinci's "A Treatise on Painting" for the Renaissance.  He and his colleague, Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture.  His works reflect his dry humor and his sometimes childlike perspective, his personal moods and beliefs, and his musicality.

With dark humor, her books present characters at odds with themselves and others, sometimes in exotic locales.
