Petrás Mária writes in her confessions 'I was born in a world in which the day began with the bells calling for prayer and ended the same way. People knew the right order of the world at that area as the sun, the moon, the stars and the flow of time directed them. Whatever they did, they did not utter a word. I grew up among nameless saints who could weave, embroider while singing with their kids around them. With fasting and prayer, they took away the problems of body and soul. Petrás Mária would kike to show pictures of this world.

We disclose secrets to the audience of this unique exhibition; they may enter gates of mysteries. We may understand the unbelievable secrets of our past and present. Petrás Mária, the Csángó Hungarian woman still remembers what we have forgotten. We may understand something else, off course the secret of the existence of the Csángó.

The shining Csángó Márias rock the babies in their hands with smile on their faces. Petrás Mária remembers the wonderful women, among whom she grew up, with her statues. These women are like saints in her life as they worked a lot, prayed a lot and, remained silent in their pains, who never complained. They served their families gently. Some of them really shined bright, but all they could do was shine to their community.

The other important motif of her ceramics is the family. Thinking of the Csángó, story of Maria and Joseph fleeing on the back of the donkey can be understood symbolically. The parents who lift their children up in the air and look at them with pride but also humbleness, our King kneeing in front of her, the mother who holds the body of Christ just taken down the cross, the figure of Maria.

Petrás Mária who is a real Csángó creates bridges in her artworks between the uncertain people of our country and the gates of Heaven.
