The marbles under the general title Cyclades were exhibited at the Art Gallery of Athens (1984), and the Galerie Denise Rene in Paris (1988). White marble carved out of Dionysos' quarries, a continuation of the mostly exhausted marble quarries of Pendeli, in the hills just above Athens, which the years and the city's atmosphere have coated with a distinctive patina.
Cyclades II
A game of squares, circles, half-circles, level surfaces and vertical lines, through the musical language of forms. The harmony here is expressed in unrestricted freedom, which aspired monumental developments.
Cyclades III
"The white marble of Dionysos' quarries, in slabs two, three or five cm thick, is the material which I use today. Simple, but full of light and life, it has an autonomous quality. Complicated forms do not suit it; they would hide its beauty"
Aegean II (1984/1984) by Alex MylonaMOMus - Museum Alex Mylona
"Clear, plain lines, such as the circle, the semi-circle, the square, have always been what one might call symbolic shapes. The synthesis of these shapes and their interrelation are the basic elements of my work, the key to a particular idiom." A.M. (1984)
