We are looking at the image of an interior space, with the table and the tools of the artist's artworks in the foreground. A calm reality, a simple image with familiar objects, an image of silence that creates a warm and serene impression, but, at the same time, exudes a sense of melancholy, isolation and loneliness. Alex Mylona captures, with unique color and design simplicity, her shelter. She manages, in a simple and unpretentious way, to express all that she feels, her vital and experiential relationship with art and life, while the open window of the attic bridges her personal, private world with the world outside.
