“Tidal Horizon” is an original handmade two-panel 3D wood mosaic artwork by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis.
Inspired by sea waves, movement and the distant horizon, the composition combines different shades of blue with changing wooden depths. The two coordinated panels create a sense of calm, freedom, strength, travel and summer, while the relief surface changes subtly according to the viewing angle and direction of the light.
THE ARTWORK YOU WILL RECEIVE
The complete two-panel artwork shown in the detailed photographs is finished and ready to ship.
The two panels were designed as a unified diptych, but they may also be displayed separately as two coordinated individual artworks. Horizontal installation is recommended.
Images showing the artwork inside furnished rooms are digital presentations intended to demonstrate approximate scale and display possibilities. The detailed photographs show the actual artwork.
A single-panel version may also be ordered. This would be individually handmade after purchase and would remain very close to the original design, with subtle variations caused by the wood grain and handmade process.
This work belongs to an open handmade series. Future versions may be created, but no two versions will be completely identical.
TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
The composition is constructed from a combination of new pinewood and naturally weathered sea-collected wood, mounted on reinforced OSB backing panels. Some of the wooden elements were collected near the sea and retain natural irregularities, surface marks and textures that form part of the artwork’s character.
Each wooden element is individually cut, sanded, wood-burned and hand-painted using acrylic colours, water-based wood stains and powder pigments traditionally used in icon painting.
The different projections of the wooden elements create a three-dimensional surface with a maximum depth of approximately 5 cm. A water-based matte varnish containing wax protects the colours and wooden surface from dust and normal indoor exposure.

DISPLAY AND LIGHT
The appearance of the artwork changes according to the viewing angle and the direction and intensity of the light. Natural daylight or carefully positioned interior lighting will emphasize the different depths, blue tones, wood grain and shadows.
The irregular three-dimensional surface may help scatter some reflected sound, especially when the complete diptych is installed. However, this is a decorative artwork and has not been laboratory tested or certified as an acoustic treatment product.
PACKAGING AND SHIPPING
Each panel will be individually protected with multiple cushioning layers and placed in reinforced packaging suitable for international transportation.
Because the complete diptych weighs approximately 20 kg / 44.4 lb, the panels should be handled and installed by two adults.
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 wood grain and handmade surface are inherent characteristics of the artwork.
