Marble appear as a rather limiting material: cold, hard, opaque. Yet, the touch of a good artist can also make it look vibrant, light, fluttering, soft and even impalpable.

Marble is a material that has always been used in architecture and art. It can be found in nature with an extreme chromatic variety. One of the most privileged marbles is Carrara marble (Luna marble to the Romans), which is a type of white or blue-gray marble popular for use in sculpture and building decor.

The most beautiful and sensual female marble sculptures often embody the ancient canons of beauty. Roman standard of female beauty was embodied by the Mediterranean model: long hair, long legs, narrow shoulders, small breasts and wide hips. This elegant model of woman dominated Italian culture and art for a long time.
