Sera Ilel’s porcelain paintings offer an innovative approach to various traditional practices. Within her 25 years of experience with porcelain painting, she has created a range of series that combine traditional and modern stylistic techniques, showcased at various exhibitions.
Sera Ilel’s Constellations reimagines porcelain’s cross-cultural history through hand-cast, hand-painted three-dimensional tiles. By deconstructing traditional motifs, she creates dynamic compositions that reflect the fragmented, ever-shifting nature of identity and culture in today’s age, challenging our perception of cultural heritage in a rapidly evolving world.
