Dimitra Tserkezou

Forty of her statues decorate public places and gardens in Greece (Athens, Syros, Chios and many other towns) as well as many collections (as for instance in Zurich, in Vatican or Washington – White House). Her art is neorealist and figurative in a simple, expressive and dynamic construction; her compositions are full of humanism (her subjects are mostly chosen in modern everyday life); she gives life to the hard materials of marble, bronze, cement and new metals.
