“The white marble from the Dionysus quarries is the material which I use, and which best expresses me today. Simple, but full of light and life, it has an autonomous quality. Complicated forms do not suit it;they would hide its beauty. Clear, plain lines, such as the circle, the semicircle, the square, the rectangles have always been what one might call “symbolic” shapes. What has always played a dominant role in my work is synthesis, with instinct as its guiding forces”. Alex Mylona, 1986 [Alex Mylona, Cyclades II, 1984, Marble, 105x90x30cm, MOMus - Museum Alex Mylona]
