Alex Mylona in one of her early paintings, captures the image of her house’s garden in an abstract way and simplified style, trying to convey the feeling of this bright, colorful and spring environment. For the artist, it is the life-giving breath of nature itself that enters the house and occupies it, the resonance of its visual stimuli, their transformation into color, light and atmosphere. It is a breath of hope and optimism that transcends any kind of isolation and limitation. [Alex Mylona, Garden, 1953, Athens, oil on cardboard, 38 x 29 cm, MOMus-Museum Alex Mylona]
