“Inheriting the spirit of Phidias and Praxiteles, sculptors of the eternal, and passionate about her country’s inexhaustible art history, it’s from Greece that Faye Tsakalides sources her favourite material and one that she selects with great care: marble, a widely used stone in ancient times, and one that has survived down the ages without losing any of its majesty. The idea of timelessness so dear to the designer is best expressed through this polished stone that she now uses almost exclusively and that governs her comings and goings between Athens, where she has her office, northern Greece with its well-known quarries, from which she gets her supplies, and Tinos, the island famous for its expert artisans and marble sculptors, with whom she collaborates.”
