These words told me that the sculptor’s place of inspiration and creativity must not be lost, but also that his creations, which we possess in our family’s private collection, must be set in the place wherein they came to life. It is thus that our family decided to construct this contemporary edifice on the very site where the atelier of our father, N. Sofialakis, had stood, to preserve his work and to provide the lovers and students of Art with the opportunity to study his work and to appreciate art in general during their visit.



The Nikos Sofialakis Center of Neoclassical Sculpture aspires to be worthy of his work but also of his conviction that “every piece of marble holds within it a work of art that waits upon the sculptor who will release it”.
