Study for a sculpture - Couple

View through Europeana Collections
Alex Mylona captures two studies of a couple on paper, a theme that is dear to the artist. The depiction of couples (e.g., Adam and Eve) is a favorite motif for her, as it provides her with the opportunity to portray touch, union, and embrace. The left study, which depicts the tight embrace of the two figures with their foreheads touching, reflects the influences the artist draws from Brancusi's "The Kiss." In the right study, the figures are presented side by side, united.
