“Modern Face” is an original handmade 3D wood mosaic artwork by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis. The photographed artwork is completed, available and ready to hang.
Created as an experimental exploration of the human face through wood, colour and geometric fragmentation, the composition balances recognisable facial features with an abstract contemporary approach. The individually painted wooden elements transform the portrait into a textured sculptural surface, allowing the expression, colours and shadows to change subtly according to the viewing angle and lighting.
THE ARTWORK YOU WILL RECEIVE
The original photographed artwork measures 43.5 × 70 × 5 cm and is completed and ready to ship. The buyer selecting the original size will receive this exact piece shown in the listing photographs.
This is Version 1 of a maximum of 3 individually handmade versions. No other version has been sold. Up to two additional versions may be created in the future, including the optional made-to-order sizes.
Because every wooden element is individually cut, treated and painted by hand, any future version will retain the same artistic concept and composition while displaying its own subtle differences. It will not be an identical reproduction.

TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
The photographed composition is created from 160 individually prepared chestnut and pine wooden elements mounted on an OSB backing panel.
Each element is individually cut, sanded, wood-burned and hand-painted with acrylic colours and water-based wood stains. Differences in depth create a sculptural relief that changes according to the direction of the light and the viewer’s position.
From a greater distance, the fragmented elements visually unite to reveal a woman’s face. Viewed closely, the composition becomes an abstract arrangement of natural wood grain, geometric forms, burned surfaces and individually applied colours.
The surface is protected with a water-based matte varnish containing wax, helping protect the colours and wooden surface from dust and normal indoor exposure.

ACOUSTIC CHARACTER
The irregular three-dimensional wooden surface may naturally scatter some sound reflections. However, the artwork has not been laboratory tested or certified as an acoustic treatment product and is offered primarily as an original work of art.
