"The central theme of the artist's work can be defined as the archaeology of the image. This is an archaeology at the level of the depicted object, where the author is drawn
to the inhabitants of the Earth who lived hundreds of thousands of centuries before us and are known to us through archaeological finds or through their quadrupedal, flying, and crawling descendants.

It seems that eternity itself gazes silently upon us from Konstantin Sychev's canvases, and any journey undertaken by the heroes of his works is a return to the origins of life
on our planet—to those archetypes and primordial forms that have evolved over time
but in some essential way remained unchanged.

It is no coincidence that the artist endows a cheetah and a mandrill with human features, creating majestic images that are frightening in their hypnotic detachment. This dialogue with zoomorphic motifs, with relics of eras long since passed into oblivion, captivates through its meticulous work with form and color, where the artist invariably seeks
an image-sign: monumental and uniting the utterly concrete with the generalized— born of the creative imagination of the painting's author."
