The sculpture ‘Guardian of the Earth’ is inspired by the image of an ancient female goddess – a symbol of fertility, abundance and humanity’s unbreakable bond with nature. Its geometric patterns draw on the traditions of the Trypillian culture, where the earth was regarded as the source of life, strength and the continuity of the family line.

The understated form and natural texture emphasise the primal beauty of the figure, which embodies maternal care, protection and harmony with the world.

Trypillian Madonnas: ‘Mistresses of Fertility’

The ‘Mistresses of Fertility’ sculptures are inspired by the image of an ancient goddess who, in the cultures of agricultural peoples, was a symbol of abundance, prosperity and the birth of new life. In the Trypillian tradition, the feminine principle was revered as the source of creation, and the earth as the greatest value and the foundation of well-being.

The soft forms and symbolic ornamentation emphasise the connection with the cycles of nature, the earth’s bounty and the power of motherhood. The sculpture serves as a reminder of humanity’s harmony with nature and of life’s eternal capacity to be reborn.
