Cycladic Marble Figurines

In the history of the Olympic Games sculpture played a decisive role. The most beautiful sculptures inherited from antiquity are of athletes which perpetuate victories in Panhellenic games. This year's return of the Olympic games to their country of origin, Greece, has inspired Greeks to give once again to this major event its initial, moral and artistic dimension. The founding of the Cultural Olympiad of the 2004 was based on these grounds.

The marble figurines displayed here are mainly replicas of the "Cycladic Civilization" and are exhibited in all the Museums of Greece and abroad. In ancient times, Greeks used marble to create their most important monuments. For the Greeks, marble resonated strength , durability , elegance and beauty .

The most striking characteristic of Cycladic sculpture is its geometric, two-dimensional nature, which has a strangely modern familiarity. However, while modern art attempts to estrange itself from artistic complexity, the Cycladic artists made obvious attempts to represent the human form. Therefore, Cycladic sculpture can safely be called the first truly great sculpture in Greece.

Marble possesses a unique color and luminosity, so much so that statues created from it become enduring decorative items of aesthetic quality. It`s no wonder that today marble is one of the world`s most coveted materials, perfect for accenting any home or office.

Our marble figurines are decorative items and serve as specific points of reference to specific moments in Ancient Greece. They are symbols of old and once powerful deities, dedications by humble believers, and functional objects associated with everyday life, to which the passage of centuries has lent the gravity of memory.

Express yourself and make your home or office radiate elegance with these stunning reproductions. Our collection of genuine imported, solid white marble statues capture the extraordinary beauty and detail of the Early Cycladic Civilization .
