With this series, Carolina Piteira analises, deconstructs and satirises behaviour and dogmas to the artistic world. With a sense of humour, the artist creates scenes illustrative of these vices and egocentric ceremonies in oriental vases from previous centuries. 

The use of these vases as a canvas is in itself a critic. It criticises the billionaire auctions where these pieces, widely accepted as works of art, are acquired by mysterious buyers at astronomical prices. These speculation manoeuvres multiply their value, simultaneously millionaire investments and status symbols that feed human greed and vanity. Here, constructed out of pieces of canvas they are naturally fragmentary. Their fragility, as the fragility of these behaviours, is exposed and tested, too fragile to resist the will to change. 

The artist addresses other issues and debated that plague the artistic world, from the most chronic vices - lack of diversity, for instance - to the most recent threats - such as the growth of AI platforms in art. 

In all paintings the vases are shown in their breaking point. This is the moment the will to change crashes against the old stats quo. 

Carolina Piteira invites us to step away from these ancestral ways of being, to question these laws that persist somehow and to create a new reality. Breaking with the old and established so that we can from its broken pieces create a future where all these issues are but fragments of the past.
