“For Your Eyes” is an original handmade 3D wood mosaic artwork by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis. This frameless sculptural composition is completed, ready to ship and prepared for wall installation.
The artwork explores the expressive power of the eyes when the rest of the face remains concealed. The covered figure evokes a traveller crossing an arid landscape, protecting the face from sand and heat while leaving only the gaze exposed. By removing most facial details, the composition draws attention to the intensity, mystery and silent communication of the eyes.
THE ARTWORK YOU WILL RECEIVE
The original photographed artwork is completed and available. The buyer selecting the 77 × 32 cm 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.
Because every wooden element is individually cut, treated and painted by hand, any future version would retain the same artistic concept and composition while displaying its own subtle variations. It would not be an identical reproduction.
AVAILABLE SIZES
Original photographed artwork: 77 × 32 × 4 cm / approximately 30.31 × 12.60 × 1.57 in Weight: approximately 3 kg / 6.61 lb Completed and ready to ship.
Large made-to-order version: Approximately 154 × 63.5 cm / 60.6 × 25 in This larger version has not yet been constructed and is offered as a possible commission. It will be individually handmade according to the same composition, technique and artistic philosophy. Natural handmade variations in the wood, colours and individual elements should be expected.
Photographs of the completed commissioned artwork will be provided to the buyer for approval before shipping.
TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
The photographed composition is created from 119 individually prepared chestnut and pine wooden elements mounted on a reinforced plywood backing panel.
Each element is individually cut, sanded, wood-burned and hand-painted with acrylic colours and water-based wood stains. Variations in depth form a sculptural relief that changes according to the viewing angle and the direction of the light.
From a greater distance, the individual geometric elements visually unite to reveal the covered woman’s face and expressive eyes. Viewed closely, the natural wood grain, handmade colouring, burned surfaces and subtle differences between the elements become more apparent.
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.

DISPLAY AND LIGHT
The appearance of this three-dimensional artwork changes subtly according to the viewing angle and the direction and intensity of the light. Natural daylight or carefully positioned interior lighting will emphasize the varying depths, wood grain, colours and shadows of the mosaic elements.
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.
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.
Please note that colours may vary slightly depending on screen settings and lighting conditions. Variations in the wood grain and handmade surface are natural characteristics of the artwork.
