The Elements series represents the four classical elements—fire, water, earth, and air—and their personification, transforming abstract concepts into tangible sculptural forms. Each piece expresses the character of its element, with streamlined curves and subtle coloration evoking qualities such as rising, fluidity, flickering, or flowing. The morphology is strongly inspired by the variability and transience of the elements, with the exception of earth, which serves as a stable foundation.
The sculptures are distinguished by their formal economy and sculptural purity and rest on circular oak pedestals, providing both stability and harmonious proportions. The series reflects the artist’s fascination with the mutability and dynamics of the elements, as well as her ability to capture their inner energy in material form.
About author
Pavlína Kvita (*1988) is one of the talented younger sculptors who bring a fresh perspective to contemporary art. Her sculptures work with the traditional scheme of free-standing plastic art, and the resulting material is mainly glass concrete or artificial stone. In her latest works, we encounter a specific anthropomorphic organicity that stands out for its economical form and plasticity. Her works have been presented at a number of exhibitions in the Czech Republic and abroad.
