The Workshop of Millions of Years of Art
Marble is not just a building material, but a manifestation of nature’s millions of years of patience and artistry. Each vein is a unique record of the geological and chemical processes of the era in which it was formed. At Velora Mining, we are driven by a vision to bring the timeless beauty of this material, which has witnessed the splendour of ancient civilisations, together with contemporary architecture. So, how did marble become an indispensable element of art and architecture for thousands of years?
From the Splendour of Antiquity to the Power of Rome
The history of marble is as old as civilisation itself. While the ancient Egyptians used it in sculptures and monuments, structures such as the Parthenon in Ancient Greece demonstrated marble’s elegance and durability. However, it was undoubtedly the Roman Empire that made marble the primary language of architecture.
A Symbol of Splendour and Power: In Rome, marble was a tangible symbol of the empire’s power and wealth. From the colossal columns of the Pantheon to the floors of public baths, marble was used to impart a timeless sense of luxury to spaces.
Our Geographical Heritage: Turkey has layers bearing the traces of different civilisations throughout its thousands of years of history. At Velora Madencilik, we bring this historical richness to the present day by processing the most qualified marble blocks, selected with meticulous care.
From Renaissance to Art Deco: An Indispensable Element of Art
Following the Middle Ages, marble was reborn, particularly in Italy during the Renaissance period. The marble that gave life to Michelangelo’s sculptures was seen not merely as a building material but as a true work of art.
The Symbol of Perfectionism: Artists embraced every vein and tone of marble as part of their work. This is an approach that Velora also embraces: viewing each block as a unique work of art and aiming to maximise its potential.
20th Century Luxury: The Art Deco and Neoclassical movements brought the aesthetic and luxurious perception of marble into the modern era. Sharp lines, geometric patterns and shiny marble surfaces reflected the wealth and spirit of progress of the period.
Marble Today: Not Just Aesthetic, But Strategic Value
Today, marble remains a vision and branding tool for architects and designers. Modern architecture expects more from marble than just aesthetics; it also demands sustainability, quality, and supply assurance.
Premium Quality and Technology: Velora Mining combines ancient beauty with the modern world, blending modern technology with expert craftsmanship to produce premium quality products.
