“Sunset I” is an original handmade 3D wood mosaic artwork by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis. Composed of 240 individually prepared wooden elements, it transforms the fleeting light of a sunset into a sculptural geometric landscape.
The work seeks to capture the emotion and magic of a moment that can never be repeated in exactly the same way. Its shifting colours, relief and shadows emphasize the uniqueness of that moment, while the appearance of the composition changes subtly according to the viewing angle and surrounding light.

The smaller version will be created using the same technique, composition and artistic approach. Because every wooden element is individually cut, treated and painted by hand, it will retain subtle variations and will not be an identical reproduction. Photographs of the completed version will be provided for the buyer’s approval before shipment.
LIMITED SERIES
A maximum of four individually handmade versions of “Sunset I” may exist across the available sizes.
Two versions have been produced to date: the large photographed artwork currently available and one smaller version previously sold privately. Up to two additional handmade versions may be created in the future.
Each version is individually made and possesses its own variations in wood grain, colour, texture and relief.
TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
The composition consists of 240 individually prepared wooden elements mounted on a reinforced plywood backing structure with wooden support battens.
Each element is individually cut, sanded, wood-burned and hand-painted using acrylic colours and water-based wood stains. Differences in depth create a sculptural surface that responds to light and changes according to the viewer’s position.
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.
