Is aesthetic perfection achieved by "strategic imperfections" such as with the case of greek/roman statues/buildings deteriorating in shape and color over time? If not, how is aesthetic perfection achieved?

Why would you assume there is such a thing? What one person finds aesthetically pleasing, another might find ugly. What sense is there to talk of an ideal when the base is all over the place?

It can only be strived for.
Plus, what you talk about might not be a universal.
