About the Item
Sleeping Dragon is a unique pigmented artificial stone sculpture with a wooden plinth by contemporary artist Pavlína Kvita, dimensions are 170 × 59 × 26 cm (66.9 × 23.2 × 10.3 in), including the wood plinth. Height of the artificial stone sculpture, without the plinth: 44 cm (17.4 in). Height of the wood plinth: 126 cm (49.6 in).
The sculpture is an edition of three and this one is the first edition. This work is sold with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
This sculpture evokes the form of a sleeping dragon, its fluid, abstract contours radiating both tranquility and latent power. The interplay of red and blue hues deepens its sense of mystery, as if shifting between fire and shadow.
In this series, Pavlína Kvita delves into a theme that is both deeply personal and universally resonant: mythology. Drawing inspiration from ancient tales, particularly Slavic and Wallachian legends, she reimagines these sacred narratives to construct her own mythology. Within each of us lie beliefs that shape inner worlds, waiting to take form. Kvita’s sculptures give them physical presence, merging zoomorphic and humanoid elements into figures that are at once geometric and monumental, yet organic and sinuous. These enigmatic and protective beings bridge the living and the inanimate, embodying and safeguarding our personal mythologies.
The Czech artist’s sculptures emerge from an introspective exploration, materializing as enigmatic figures that appear both archaic and futuristic. Her anthropomorphic and zoomorphic forms, silent and timeless, command space with a striking balance of strength and harmony. Their dynamic, streamlined shapes verge on abstraction, embodying movement and transformation. Kvita’s creative process is cyclical, an ongoing dialogue of formation, transformation, and deconstruction, allowing her to push the boundaries of form and material, unlocking endless sculptural possibilities.

Pavlína Kvita
The sculptures of the Czech artist Pavlína Kvita come to life from the exploration of her inner world, resulting in the creation of mysterious figures with forms that are both archaic and futuristic. These anthropomorphic or zoomorphic creatures, silent presences outside of time, impose themselves in space with a blend of strength and balance, conferred on them by their dynamic, streamlined lines, tending towards abstraction. Pavlína Kvita’s sculptures are the end result of a circular process of creation/transformation/destruction which the artist establishes with the material, manipulating shapes and their infinite possibilities. “I really need to feel the work in my hands, to find it by breaking it down and destroying it, and then rebuilding it again. For me it is a process of destruction and creation, just like the process we see at work in life.”
