Reflections on the mythical island-state Atlantis embodied in this sculpture. How could the absorbed by the sea inhabitants adopt to life? They looked like fish with gills, fins and tails but they retained the features of a human face. Mixed color of agate with its tints and shades matched perfectly for the figure. A fragment of a broken column supplements the image and refers to the ancient civilization.
The stone-carving sculpture “Atlantis” was exhibited in the Louvre (Paris) in 2007.
