Cosmos

The work "Cosmos" belongs to the period in which Alex Mylonas works with thin slabs of white marble, presenting compositions that are distinguished for their geometric simplicity and rigour. She chooses this particular material because, according to her. Unique, alive, shining, it has its own independence. Complex shapes do not suit it. They would hide its beauty. Clear, simple lines such as the circle, the semicircle, the parallelograms are forms, "symbols" from time immemorial. The composition of these forms and the relationship between them are the basic elements and the key, it would seem, to a certain dialectic. He created this work in 1998, returning to the third dimension and reintroducing the primary shapes of the circle and the square, as well as the play of the void that suggests volume. The solar or cosmic theme expressed through the virtual spheres is also evident and is addressed in a multitude of her works.
