STARRY NIGHT — LIGHT, TEXTURE AND REFLECTION
Golden stars and city lights shimmer across a blue night scene, their reflections stretching into the water. A couple stands at the lower right, facing the meeting of sky, water and light.
This painting is my textured interpretation of Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night over the Rhône. I was drawn to the energy of his brushwork and wanted to explore that rhythm through swift strokes of stucco, building a raised surface beneath the acrylic colour.
For me, the result holds both a dreamlike calm and a wild beauty. Changing light catches the relief, bringing another dimension to the painted scene.
Hand-painted by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis in his Dreamodelers studio. First version: 2021.

ARTISTIC REFERENCE AND LIMITED SERIES
This is a hand-painted interpretation after Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night over the Rhône. It is not a print.
My interpretation is limited to a maximum of three individually handmade versions in total, across both sizes.
One version has already been created. Up to two additional versions may be produced.
The signed Certificate of Authenticity will identify the work as my handmade interpretation after Van Gogh and record its sequential version number and actual year of completion.
TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
Stucco is applied to stretched canvas in expressive, raised strokes, then painted with acrylic colours.
The relief gives physical depth to the stars, reflected lights and surrounding blue surfaces. Its appearance changes with the viewing angle and direction of the light.
A water-based matte varnish containing wax protects the finished surface and provides a subtle sheen.
Both size options are supplied with painted, textured canvas edges and fitted hanging hardware. No separate decorative frame is included.
