Columns

The " Columns" belong to the period when Alex Mylonas worked with thin slabs of white marble, presenting compositions that are distinguished for their geometric simplicity and rigour. She feels that marble - and more specifically the marble she chooses, coming from the quarries of Dionysos, outside Athens, a material inextricably linked to art in the Attic land - expresses her perfectly, since she appreciates that it is a material that is unadorned, alive and shining, which has its own independence and is not suited to complex shapes that would hide its beauty. Squares, circles, parallelograms and semi-circles create compositions, well organised and studied, where the proportions, harmonious relationships, white colour and texture of the material reveal to the viewer areas of aesthetic pleasure.
