“Sunset II” is a contemporary 3D wood mosaic artwork interpreting the fleeting atmosphere of a sunset through geometric fragmentation. The photographed piece is Version 1 of a maximum of 2 individually handmade versions.“II” identifies this composition as the second artwork in the Sunset series. Warm yellow, orange and red tones meet cooler shades of blue and grey, while a dark horizon and the silhouette of a tree gradually emerge through the individually shaped wooden elements.
Rather than reproducing the landscape realistically, the artwork translates it through the distinctive technique of the wood mosaic. Differences in depth, colour and wood grain break the image into a rhythmic sculptural surface whose appearance changes according to the viewing angle and direction of light.
The artwork shown in the photographs is completed, available and ready to ship. The buyer will receive this exact piece.
LIMITED HANDMADE SERIES
This is Version 1 of a maximum of 2 individually handmade versions. No other version has been produced or sold.
Only one additional interpretation may be created in the future if requested. Because every wooden element is individually cut, finished and painted by hand, a future version would preserve the same concept and artistic character but would have natural variations and would not be an exact duplicate.

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE
The composition is created from natural oak elements mounted on a 12 mm OSB supporting panel. Each wooden piece was individually cut, sanded, selectively burned and hand-painted using acrylic colours, water-based colours and wood stains.
The surface is protected with a water-based matte varnish containing wax. This finish helps protect the wood and colours while preserving their natural texture and low-sheen appearance.
Natural variations in wood grain, small surface irregularities and subtle differences between the individual elements are intentional characteristics of the handmade construction.
LIGHT AND VIEWING ANGLE
The different depths of the wooden elements create shifting shadows across the surface. As the direction of light and the viewer’s position change, different parts of the sunset, horizon and tree become more or less pronounced, allowing the artwork to acquire a subtly changing visual character throughout the day.
INSTALLATION
The artwork is supplied with fitted hanging hardware on the reverse and is ready for wall installation. Due to its size and weight, installation by two people is recommended.
Wall screws and plugs should always be selected according to the construction and condition of the wall. A Dreamodelers installation guide is included.
CUSTOM VERSION
One additional handmade interpretation may be considered as a separate custom commission. Larger sizes previously displayed as purchasing options have never been constructed.
