GRIMM TALES; Mela Yerka

GRIMM TALES

This ongoing series of paintings is based on Grimms' tales.
Grimms' everlasting motifs, rich Pan-European material and
incorrect morals make an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
I juxtapose the tradition of storytelling with the rich history
of painting in order to reintroduce distant stories and values
to our modern cynical world.

This is a paean for cultural, destructive, powerful and female.
The divagation on beautiful is never to be over as we would
never stop admiring ourselves.

Hunter; Mela Yerka

DEAD

Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.
Those are the trigger words for the series. Having become true,
this sentence shows an ethical problem—how far can we go?
Humanity has got indeed a destructive power...
