‘Where the Pears Ripen’ Vase

The Trypillian Madonna ‘The Great Mother’

The sculpture ‘The Great Mother’ depicts the Great Mother – an ancient symbol of birth, fertility and the continuity of life. Inspired by the Trypillian culture, it embodies the very foundation of existence, the feminine principle from which lineage, memory and the bond between generations originate.

The stylised form and delicate ornamentation draw on archaeological finds dating back millennia, in which the female figure personified the earth, abundance and the creative power of nature. ‘The Mother of All’ serves as a reminder of humanity’s deep connection to its roots and the eternal cycle of life.
