Onespace proudly presents Konstantina’s Mudang Butbut in the Lounge Gallery, beautifully closing our exhibition program for the year. This body of acrylic paintings on linen explores trees as metaphors for the living heart – repositories of memory, connection, and resilience. Through her vibrant mark-making, Konstantina translates the language of tree-growth into a visual meditation on identity, sovereignty, and belonging. Each work becomes a living document, painting traces of the artist’s personal and cultural histories while reflecting universal stories of endurance and renewal for First Nations people. Mudang Butbut invites viewers to reflect on the invisible threads that bind ancestry, land, and the human heart through the enduring resilience of trees.

Now in their 63rd year, The Shark Awards is one of the longest running creative festivals in the world. We are proud to recognize the best in advertising, design, short film & music video from around the globe. Our mission is to promote and celebrate creativity, innovation and excellence in the communication arts.
..."The tactility of the paintings holds a connection to their craft; what constitutes a historical object and what constitutes art is blurred in her work. The abstract and scientific combine, each informing the other and reinventing itself. The paintings recenter the Gadigal people in their history. Konstantina finds a way to communicate the trauma of being dislocated, isolated, and erased by re-engaging with cultural memory and reinterpreting it in a modern context. Millions of miles away from its home, Gadigal culture is being revitalized in the act of recreation."

RE: Imagined, an exhibition at the JGM gallery, celebrates the culture of the Gadigal people, the original inhabitants of today’s Sydney area of New South Wales who are part of the Eora Nation.
There is a freshness, a feeling of contemporaneity in Konstantina’s expansive canvases and stretched possum skins, stitched with sparkling beads.

Sky Sports created a bold identity for the 2025 Lions Tour in Australia that captured the pride and spirit of the Lions while celebrating the First Nations culture of the host nation. The narrative centres on a Lion — built from Indigenous artist Konstantina’s original artwork — The result resonated with fans, reached millions across broadcast and digital, and reinforced Sky’s reputation for innovative, respectful design.
The Clio Awards were founded in 1959 to honour excellence in advertising around the world. The prestigious program, which has continuously evolved alongside the creative industry it champions, today celebrates boundary-pushing marketing, advertising and communications from the brands, agencies and organizations that shape popular culture and drive global commerce.
JGM Gallery presents RE: Imagined, an exhibition of works by proud Gadigal woman of the Eora Nation (Sydney basin), Konstantina, inspired by her three-year research project with the British Museum. RE: Imagined showcases the results of the most recent phase of Konstantina’s project: paintings inspired by the raw materials which the Gadigal used to fashion the objects housed in the British Museum, and the original environments from which these materials were sourced.
Onespace is delighted to announce the representation of Konstantina (Kate Constantine). Konstantina is a proud Gadigal woman of the Eora Nation and a contemporary First Nations artist. Her practice reinterprets the traditional visual practices of her people, forging a modern narrative and asserting First Nations perspectives as central to Australia’s cultural landscape.
The biggest 24 hrs l've had in a long time!
So many thanks to the Cowra Art Gallery for having my work on display and wonderful patrons Mr & Mrs Fagen who generously support this prize.
I am the 50th winner of Calleen Art Prize and I can't wipe the smile from my face!
To lovely Curator Cassandra, thanks for holding my hand through a very new process for me. To the eloquent Kent Buch thank you for choosing my work!
And to all the wonderful new friends I made on my epic 24 hr round trip from Bundjalung to Wiradjuri Country.
Thank you to Aunty Esther for her beautiful Welcome to Country and generous smile when I won and was feeling a bit overwhelmed!
Very proud to be included as a finalist in the Calleen Art Prize for 2025 hosted at the Cowra Regional Gallery
For nearly 10 years, Willie Weston has honoured First Nations stories from the most remote corners of Australia, and more recently Naarm (Melbourne), through our fabrics and wallpapers. We are excited to present our latest collection, celebrating the rich heritage of the Gadigal – some of the traditional custodians of Sydney’s harbour region – created in partnership with renowned artist, Kate Constantine.
Our collection reveals another side to the artist - her delicate, confident line work and sketching. The collection invites calm reflection, a consideration of the natural world, and a celebration of our coastal regions.
Konstantina has been announced as a Finalist in this year's Gosford Art Prize for the painting "Murrira" (pronounced moor- reere).
Murrira is the Gadigal word for line or chorded string usually made from native Hibiscus or Kurrajong bark.
This work is inspired by the re-making of our original Gadigal practises based on a multi-year project with the @britishmuseum . The artwork is made at the same time as I learn to make the original traditional chord and so contains the ancient practise and wisdom of the Culture of my people. It is a physical annotation, a remembering of this Culture and therefore a conduit to the past from the present.
Konstantina has collaborated with UK broadcaster SKY TV to develop the broadcast titles and graphics for the 2025 British Lions tour of Australia.
Sky TV said "Sky has worked with First Nations artist, Konstantina to land a powerful brand identity, ahead of the Lions Series that starts on 20 June. The tour happens once every four years and has reached iconic status with sporting fans. Its aim is to unite both nations and cultures, so it’s fitting that Sky’s creative direction is grounded in the rich cultural landscape of Australia, the country where it’s being hosted."
