Fall of Triangles I

Alex Mylona created the work "Fall of Triangles I" in 1993, during a period when she was working with thin slabs of white marble, presenting abstract compositions that are distinguished for their geometric simplicity and rigor. 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. The geometric shapes create compositions, well organised and thought out, 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 emerge after the works are completed, when, some of them refer to recognizable images.
