This object was scanned at the Watts Gallery using an Artec Eva

ILISSOS was a river-god of Attika in southern Greece.

The Ilissos stream flowed through the city of Athens emptying into the Saronic Gulf just south of the port of Peiraios (Piraeus). Other local rivers personified by the Athenians were the Eridanos, a small tributory of the Ilissos, and the twin streams of the Kephisos (Cephisus).

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.

★ Can be placed in the living room, garden, bonsai office, bedroom, bookstore, study, library, store, desk, car.
★ Gift idea for your friends and family, for those who are struggling, tired, depressed.
