The work "Cyclades III" belongs 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 chooses this particular material because, according to her. Unique, alive, shining, it has its own independence. Complex shapes do not suit it. They would hide its beauty. Clear, simple lines such as the circle, the semicircle, the parallelograms are forms, "symbols" from time immemorial. The composition of these forms and the relationship between them are the basic elements and the key, I would say, to a certain dialectic".
