Ceramic pictures of dreams in black and white
- • Milena finds the labyrinth of memories and dreams fascinating
- • Minimalist forms create a deeper meaning to her
- • She tends to focus on landscape images
Milena Pirštelienė has been working with ceramics since the 1990s. She is a member of the Lithuanian Artists' Union, and her works have been presented and have won international awards in more than 50 exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad. Her ceramics combine fine and applied art: graphic drawing, the picturesque blending of colours, and architectural, sculptural forms. In 2017, Milena discovered a distinctive technique of drawing on ceramic surfaces, allowing her to create a three-dimensional, graphic visual effect. Milena's works often feature landscapes, sometimes specific or imagined cities. Other times the pieces portray landscapes of nature. Although the world she depicts is often devoid of people, shadows of individual passers-by and unknown characters appear in some of her works. These works are strictly shaped and dominated by a combination of the artist's favourite white clay and black pigment, reminiscent of a dream or photograph.

From the Panic Rooms series
All 16 objects from the Panic Rooms series are square-shaped ceramic wall panels. Black and white colours predominate, with a strong accent of a contrasting colour. The drawing is created by hand, using black pigment and colour underglazes, covered with a transparent glaze. The piece is then fired in an electric kiln. It has a metal plate base so it can also be hung on the wall.
