Handmade carved marble HEAD OF A FIGURINE .
3200-2800 B.C. prehistoric Greek Cycladic abstract figurine head detail, hand-sculpted on white marble.
The figurine head is inspired by the masterpieces of Cycladic art exhibits of the Greek museums and sites.
The collection of Cycladic antiquities is one of the most important in the world. Cycladic civilization flourished on the islands of the central Aegean during the Early Bronze Age (3rd millennium BC).
The most characteristic creation of this culture is the marble sculpture and it is not surprising that the abstract forms of the figurines influenced artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as Brancusi, Modigliani, Giacometti, Hepworth, Moore and Ai Weiwei.
Head of the marble female figurine of the 'Folded arm' type.
The Cycladic figurines of this form represent female figures standing naked, with the arms folded below their chest. Their abstract refined figure probably represents a great "Mother Goddess", symbol of fertility and rejuvenation.
Handmade carved statue with the goal and vision of creating quality marble sculptures.
Marble is a difficult material which, when worked with respect and knowledge, reveals the inner beauty hidden inside.
All our sculptures, even those related to the same subject, are as unique as the piece of marble we chose to carve on it.
Every statue, every relief, are unique creations.
Not only because of the sculpting, but mainly because every piece of marble is unique by nature.
All our sculptures have their own coloration, their own veins of color.
All our sculptures even those concerning the same subject, are as unique as the block of marble we chose to sculpt them on.
We hope you appreciate every sculpture for the uniqueness of the marble, the originality of our subject, the quality of the sculpting, and finally the attention and respect we used in working with this wonderful material.
