About the Item

Skelet II Skelet II is a sculpture by Czech artist Pavlína Kvita. This sculpture is presented on a steel plinth. Weight of the sculpture: 4 kg. Weight of the plinth: 15 kg. Dimensions (with the plinth): 180 × 53 × 45 cm (70.8 × 20.8 × 17.7 in). Dimensions (without the plinth): 39 × 28 × 16 cm (15.3 × 11 × 6.3 in). The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. This work is part of a limited edition of just 3 editions. The title of this piece suggests that the sculpture may represent a skeleton of a creature. Standing gracefully on a steel base, the sculpture distinguishes itself within the artist’s body of work through its striking presence of red pigment. In this work, Pavlína Kvita draws on the symbolism of red earth — a material deeply rooted in ancient creation myths and rituals of life and death. Historically used in ceremonies and burials, red pigment evoked protection, vitality, and a sacred connection to land and lineage. Kvita’s sculptures, inspired by this ancestral material yet crafted in artificial stone, recall ritual artefacts, hybrid beings, and totemic guardians. Elevated on meticulously designed geometric pedestals, they blur the boundaries between sculpture and design, matter and meaning. The Czech artist’s creations emerge from an intimate exploration of her inner landscape, giving rise to enigmatic figures that feel both ancient and futuristic. These anthropomorphic and zoomorphic presences — silent, suspended in time — assert themselves through a balance of strength and poise. Their dynamic, refined silhouettes verge on abstraction, the result of a continuous cycle of creation, transformation, and destruction that Kvita establishes with her material. Through this process, she pushes the forms toward their fullest expressive potential. This wall sculpture, which explores themes of inner strength and personal evolution, is a part of a series of works centred on the warrior archetype. The works blend futuristic dynamism with ancient shamanic traditions. The mysterious figures with forms that are both archaic and futuristic emerge in the sculptures of Czech artist Pavlína Kvita as a result of her exploration of her inner world. These anthropomorphic or zoomorphic beings, silent entities existing outside of time, dominate space with a combination of strength and balance that is given to them by their dynamic, streamlined, and abstracting lines. The sculptures created by Pavlína Kvita are the end result of the artist manipulating shapes and their endless possibilities in a circular process of creation/transformation/destruction.
