“The Paint Windows” is an original handmade three-dimensional wood mosaic artwork by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis.
Created from reclaimed pine, the composition evokes illuminated windows seen across a city at night. Each coloured wooden element represents a different interior atmosphere, mood or emotion. Together, they create a dreamlike architectural landscape while preserving the natural grain, texture and warmth of the wood.
THE ARTWORK YOU WILL RECEIVE
The photographed artwork is completed and ready to ship. The buyer will receive this exact piece shown in the listing photographs.
“The Paint Windows” belongs to an open series. Future versions may be created, but because reclaimed wood is individually selected, cut, treated and coloured by hand, every version will present clearly visible differences and will not be an identical reproduction.
Please note that some photographs show this artwork displayed beside “Flying,” a separate artwork with its own product listing. “Flying” is not included in this purchase.
TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
The composition is constructed from individually prepared reclaimed pine elements mounted on a solid pine backing panel.
Each wooden element is individually cut, sanded, wood-burned and coloured by hand using acrylic colours and water-based wood stains. Variations in the size, colour and projection of the wooden pieces create the sculptural relief and changing shadows of the composition.
The finished surface is protected with a water-based matte varnish containing wax. The natural grain, knots, marks and previous history of the reclaimed wood remain visible as intentional characteristics of the artwork.

CUSTOM REQUESTS
A related version may be commissioned in different dimensions or colours by prior agreement.
Because every piece of reclaimed wood has its own grain, shape and history, commissioned versions will retain the character and concept of the series but will show clearly visible differences from the photographed artwork.
Estimated creation time for a commissioned version is approximately three days, including drying time between the different stages.
DISPLAY AND LIGHT
The appearance of this three-dimensional artwork changes according to the viewing angle and the direction of the light. Natural daylight or directed interior lighting will emphasize the different projections, wood grain, colours and shadows of the mosaic elements.
The long horizontal format makes the artwork particularly suitable above a console, desk or sideboard, within a gallery-wall arrangement, or for a narrow horizontal wall space.
PACKAGING AND SHIPPING
The artwork will be carefully protected with multiple cushioning layers and placed in reinforced packaging suitable for international transportation.
A signed Certificate of Authenticity will accompany the artwork.
Colours may vary slightly depending on screen settings and lighting conditions. Natural variations, marks and irregularities in the reclaimed wood are inherent characteristics of the artwork.
