WOMAN WITH RED HAIR
Original handcrafted 3D wood mosaic portrait The buyer will receive the exact completed artwork shown in the photographs.
Viewed from close range, the artwork reveals a rhythmic composition of hundreds of individually prepared wooden elements, variations in depth, colour and texture.
As the viewer steps back, these separate fragments gradually come together and the portrait of a woman with vivid red hair emerges.
This transformation is central to the work: individual details may appear abstract or disconnected, yet distance allows them to form identity, expression and presence.

HANDCRAFTED PROCESS
Each wooden element is individually cut, shaped, coloured and positioned by hand. Selected pieces project from the surface at different depths, producing shadows that change naturally according to the direction and intensity of the light.
Because the work is built from real wood, subtle differences in grain, tone and texture are an integral part of its character.
The process combines mosaic construction, sculpture, painting and wood craftsmanship in a single physical artwork.
VIEWING EXPERIENCE
Woman with Red Hair is intended to be experienced both from a distance and at close range.
From across the room, it reads as a powerful figurative portrait. As the viewer approaches, the image dissolves into a field of wooden pixels, relief and colour.
Its large scale and vertical composition make it particularly suitable for a living room, entrance hall, staircase, office, hotel, restaurant or contemporary art collection.
The irregular three-dimensional surface may also provide a degree of natural sound diffusion, although this piece is offered primarily as an original artwork.
