Material & Manufacture process: Cast Marble
Cast Marble statues are made
from a composite material in which natural crushed Greek Marble
stone is mixed with a small quantity of resin that works as a
glue. The mixture is then poured into a mold of the statue
design. Because the powder is so fine the smallest details can be
reproduced using this method. Over 90% of the finished
sculpture is natural crushed Greek Marble stone, which gives it a look and
feel of solid natural marble. All sculptures are finished by hand to
ensure the finest quality. This strong material is water and weather resistant,
doesn't have bubbles, will not crack, and can be washed with most cleaning
agents.
Please note: Our statues are
not carved. 100% Natural marble statues are hand carved and command a very
hefty price. Our product offerings are intended to be affordable to the
majority public.
CYCLADIC ART
The ancient Cycladic culture flourished in the islands of the Aegean Sea in Greece from c. 3300 to 1100 BCE. Along with the Minoan civilization and Mycenaean Greece, the Cycladic people are counted among the three major Aegean cultures. The best-known art of this period are the marble figures usually called "idols" or "figurines". The majority of these figures, however, are highly stylized representations of the female human form, typically having a flat, geometric quality which gives them a striking resemblance to today's modern art.
This elegant head, representative of the “Dokathismata variety”, (Early Cycladic II – Syros Phase 2800 b.C. – 2300 b.C) thus named after a cemetery on Amorgos, is one of the masterpieces of Cycladic marble sculpting. The strict geometric structure, the harmonious proportions and the abstract quality epitomize those virtues that made Cycladic art a source of inspiration for important twentieth-century artists.
