On the terrace of MOMus-Museum Alex Mylona, Kouros and Kore, two iconic marble sculptures by Alex Mylona, stand silently side by side in a hierarchical manner, in a rhythmic communication of lines, volumes, levels and shapes. The two bodies are imposed alone, communicate with each other with secret codes, dominate in the horizon of the Attic sky, in a constant dialogue with the present and the past, the ancient monuments, the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the modern urban landscape. Alex Mylona having developed sensitivity, proceeds to the exploration of the male and female body in their pure perception, looks back at forms and types of archaic sculpture, which she creatively transforms with a unique sense of balance and austerity, rhythm and geometry. These two sculptures, alongside with the founding of her Museum, "sealed", as she emphatically stated, the cycle of her sculptural art.

On the terrace of MOMus-Museum Alex Mylona, Kouros and Kore, two iconic marble sculptures by Alex Mylona, stand silently side by side in a hierarchical manner, in a rhythmic communication of lines, volumes, levels and shapes.
The two bodies are imposed alone, communicate with each other with secret codes, dominate in the horizon of the Attic sky, in a constant dialogue with the present and the past, the ancient monuments, the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the modern urban landscape.
Alex Mylona having developed sensitivity, proceeds to the exploration of the male and female body in their pure perception, looks back at forms and types of archaic sculpture, which she creatively transforms with a unique sense of balance and austerity, rhythm and geometry.
These two sculptures, alongside with the founding of her Museum, "sealed", as she emphatically stated, the cycle of her sculptural art.
