“Plates” - series of paintings made in 2023 and are the continuing line for the “Egg” line of artworks. Still deep in touch with the traditions, ancestors and family. Talking about inspiration, plates as a symbol seemed very logic consequence after eggs - round shaped, mostly white and a porcelain is similar to the egg shell, as much as its strong but at the same time can be very fragile. The main question appeared - “What is one of the symbols of a Family?”. The answer came straight away, and became a main character through the all series of artworks. Family Dinner. Until few decades ago, family dinners were actually very important. To share the meal together is kind of a bonding ritual. Therefore, almost every family had their best china and silvered table wear (maybe as a heritage from Grandparents), what was served at the special occasions. With time moving forward, lifestyle of the people became faster and there left no time for a Family gatherings every evening. With this line of artworks I would like to remind, that sometimes it is good to slow down, remember about actual values and let it be in your life as one of priorities.
DNA - is a difficult chain what makes us as we are. It is almost unreal to imagine how many people are involved in our creation. From where they came from, who they really were... If a DNA is a real and materialistic thing what is made from molecules and atoms, then it has an energy, as all in our world. Meaningly, that we have an unique collection in every cell in our body of everybody’s energy from our Family tree.

Many people used to think that the Heritage has a money equivalent. Although, for my opinion it goes way deeper with the meanings. Heritage has a traditional value, together with materialistic things what brings everything to understanding of the main sense and roots of each family and generations. In the end, no matter how twisted effect can have the world on us, but the base support is anyway with our Ancestors power what we can channel.

How nice it is to use sometimes your old plate or a cup from your childhood. At this moment nostalgia and warmth in a body starts to flow. Many memories come together and a smile on a face appears immediately. All the smells of Grandmother’s or Mother’s cooking, steam and hot air from the oven, and the sound of dishes from the kitchen - brings the feeling of comfort and love and protection.

In the past, to share the bread or a meal with somebody at home had a very strong meaning. It meant, that the people are welcome and became a part of your circle or Family. Was developing quite a connection between everybody, with common respect to the house and the guests in it, together with sharing traditions and rules of other Families.
