El Tormento" paints a vivid narrative of Argentina's political strife, set against the backdrop of Buenos Aires and its democratic symbols. The central focus remains the iconic obelisk, now imbued with a heightened sense of foreboding. In a dramatic twist, the obelisk is depicted as being on the verge of being devoured by a menacing creature, symbolizing the tormenting spirits that hold the country hostage.

"El Tormento" transcends its initial representation of political turmoil and destruction by incorporating the fantastical element of the tormenting spirits. This addition deepens the narrative, prompting viewers to contemplate not only the tangible threats to democracy but also the intangible, spiritual torment that can plague a nation in times of political upheaval.

Constantin Roucault, a contemporary Swiss artist, draws inspiration from the cubist representation of urban and industrial subjects found in the works of American painters Charles Sheeler, Charles Demuth, and, to some extent, Edward Hopper. This early influence propelled him towards embracing the artistic style.

The city and nature, in their myriad forms, have remained enduring sources of inspiration for Constantin throughout his artistic journey. His artworks navigate the intersection of figurative and graphic styles, oscillating between abstraction and realism.

Central to his creative process is the use of oil paint, a fundamental medium that brings his visions to life. In certain instances, Constantin incorporates diverse media and techniques, including acrylic, ink, charcoal, collage, and screen printing, to enhance the expressive depth of his creations. This versatile approach allows him to explore and push the boundaries of artistic representation, creating a body of work that resonates with both abstraction and the tangible reality of the subjects he portrays.
