Three Squares
View through Europeana Collections
The work "Three Squares" belongs to the period of works in which the artist works with thin slabs of white marble, presenting abstract compositions that are distinguished by 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 an unadorned, lively and shining material, 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. The shapes retain their ancestral symbolic meaning, while the titles are of no particular significance. They emerge after the works are completed when, some of them allude to recognizable images.
