"Some things we say to each other, some we draw, especially those that are more difficult to say. These are not drawings as obvious statements, these are subtle shades of feelings that create different characters and figures, entire environments." Ové Pictures

A unique work by the duo Ové Pictures. The drawings are a continuation of the collections from the exhibitions Soft-boiled (2023), Storification (2019, Atelier XIII) and Even a stone flows from the Šamorín synagogue from 2022. The original drawings function as separate solitaires, but the connections of individual motifs can be observed in them.

Paper dioramas tell the stories of magical characters from the Ové iconography through brightly coloured papers with the help of clever use of technology. The motifs invite viewers to search for universal stories, life records of human experience. These snapshots and fragments of situations show the authors' philosophical view of the world and encourage reflection. Dioramas make it possible to create scenes composed of different narratives compressed into a spatial object with a specific artistic expression. They are a well-known method of illusory staging of space and story, nowadays considered a bizarre, outdated technology. The creation of such an art object is always preceded by an innovative process in which the authors work with their own texts, create pictorial storyboards, select and create characters and define environments.
