Now everyone has the unique opportunity to take part in a large-scale social art project of the world-famous artist Oksana Mas.

Approximately 380 000 people made this project come to life by hand-painting wooden eggs.

Now the Mas studio is carefully disassembling this giant artwork, extracting fragments one by one, and turning them into art objects in their own right – and you can buy these artworks on our website. A team of curators hand-picks the most stunning Paradise Eggs and assigns them a unique ID number. Then each egg receives a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist

The art works are insured against all possible risks during delivery. The proceeds from the sale of Paradise Eggs will be used to continue the project.

Upon project completion, Post vs. Proto Renaissance will consist of a total of 3,480,000 elements. The total weight of the structure will be 300 tons

      About the project
      The philosophy behind Paradise Eggs
      Oksana Mas’ project Paradise Еggs has become a symbol of uniting people of different nationalities in times when the world is so unstable.
      Politics, wars, civil unrest and pandemics are sucking away the creative energy and are making us all feel anxious and restless.
      Paradise Eggs are not just a stunning art object. They are a powerful symbol of victory over the feelings of disconnectedness and anxiety by the beauty of the power of unity

      The famous Italian art theorist Achille Bonito Oliva became the curator of the Venice project. Post vs. Proto Renaissance continues to represent a cross section of time, an opportunity for self-expression of different co-cultures, a time capsule and a visual archive.
      The artist’s incredible eye for detail
      Each of the fragments is assembled in a panel of the famous Ghent Altarpiece, which was painted by the Van Eyck brothers in 1432. This Northern Renaissance masterpiece explores the themes of spirituality, mindfulness, and passion. It is with this piece of art that the Renaissance begins.
