Konstanty Szewczenko, born in 1910 in Warsaw, was a Polish painter who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw from 1928 to 1932 under the guidance of Felicjan Kowarski and Tadeusz Pruszkowski. He began his artistic education at the Institute of Fine Arts in Warsaw from 1927 to 1928.
Szewczenko focused primarily on easel painting, creating Oriental genre scenes, portraits, and depictions of fishermen. His work was diverse, and the artist also showed interest in scenography, collaborating with the Theater of Variety from 1934 to 1935.
He was an active illustrator, working with the Lviv publishing house "Atlas" and publishing his works in "Kurier Poranny." Among his creations are portraits of well-known figures such as Ignacy Mościcki and Edward Rydz-Śmigły.
Szewczenko exhibited his works both in Poland and abroad, participating in exhibitions such as "Polish Regional Types" in Warsaw in 1938 and the Independent Artists' Group exhibition in 1947. In 1964, he held a solo exhibition at G. Tomalski's Gallery in New York City.
A representative collection of Konstanty Szewczenko's works is housed in the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw. The artist passed away in 1991 in Warsaw.
