My conceptual idea was to create a minimal graphic ecosystem which reminds us the fundamendal feautures of Cycladic art such as simplicity, reduction, clarity, elimination, abstraction.The illustrated group of the Cycladic figurines carries fundamental anthropological symbols, strongly connected to the early Cycladic civilization. Conceptually, the selected graphic design constitutes a fellowship representing the early traces and the basic forms that dominated the early Cycladic art. Through the intense use of lines and shade the Cycladic artworks are magnified on purpose enabling wider perception to the Cycladic archetypical form and the original anthropomorphic intention. Ôhe dominance of black & white colours establishes a global but still local graphic language which emphasizes the material that was exclusively used to the making of the original Cycladic figurines.
