2. Taking the Polish
folk tradition of
decorating Easter
eggs to a whole new
level- Mariusz
Dubiel has never
attended art school,
but his copies of
religious
Renaissance
paintings onto these
most delicate of
canvases are
breathtaking.
3. Dubiel’ s main theme
are images of the
Madonna or Christ. He
has been decorating
eggs for 15 years, and
has been become a
master of the art.
4. The eggs are first
boiled in hot water
with onion skin to
give them an even,
brown color.
Patterns are then
scratched onto the
surface with a paper
knife, before
painting can begin.
5. But it’s not only about the
paintings, says the artist:
“It’s not just about the
aesthetics, the colors or
the fact that they are
pretty. That’s not the most
important thing. What
matters are emotions. They
are supposed to bring
sadness, joy, hope. This is
my message, that nowadays
faith in God can be shown
in this particular way, not
only through paintings but
also in the structure of an
egg”
