LIGHTHOUSE — A PLACE TO RETURN
A white lighthouse stands above a rocky shore, surrounded by an expansive blue sky and sea.
For me, the lighthouse represents a familiar point of return: a place that helps us find our roots after travelling far, whether through the world or within our thoughts. It is a reminder of home and the steady presence that can guide us back when life feels unfamiliar.
Hand-painted by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis in his Dreamodelers studio. First version: 2021.

TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
Acrylic colours are applied by hand to stretched canvas, combining soft blue passages with darker rocky forms and the contrasting white lighthouse.
The canvas sides are painted, allowing the work to be displayed without a separate decorative frame.
A water-based matte varnish containing wax protects the painted surface and gives it a subtle sheen.
