For this series, Pavlína Kvita draws upon the symbolism of red earth as her conceptual point of departure—a material deeply rooted in ancient myths of creation, life, and death. Once used in rituals and burials, red pigment carried connotations of protection, vitality, and the sacred connection between land and ancestry. Inspired by this primal element, her sculptures—crafted from artificial stone—evoke ritual artifacts, hybrid beings, and totemic guardians. Set upon meticulously designed geometric pedestals, these works blur the boundaries between sculpture and design, matter and meaning.
The Czech artist’s sculptures emerge from an intimate exploration of her inner world, giving form to enigmatic figures that feel both archaic and futuristic. These anthropomorphic and zoomorphic presences, silent and timeless, assert themselves in space with a balance of strength and grace. Their streamlined, dynamic contours verge on abstraction, embodying a continuous process of creation, transformation, and dissolution through which Kvita engages with the material and its endless expressive potential.

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.”
