“Tree Trunks” is a handmade three-dimensional wood mosaic artwork by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis, created from genuine sections of naturally pruned tree branches.
The composition celebrates the physical presence and natural beauty of wood: its rings, grain, bark, colour variations and irregular organic forms. Hundreds of individual wood slices form a richly textured surface that recalls stacked firewood, forest growth and an imagined landscape between nature and abstraction.
AVAILABLE CONFIGURATIONS
The artwork consists of individual panels that can be displayed separately or combined to create a larger continuous composition.
• 45 × 50 × 5 cm / approximately 17.72 × 19.69 × 1.97 in • 45 × 112 × 3.5 cm / approximately 17.72 × 44.09 × 1.38 in • Combined 45 × 162 cm configuration / approximately 17.72 × 63.78 in, with depth varying between approximately 3.5 and 5 cm
The completed 45 × 50 cm panels have a total depth of approximately 5 cm, while the completed 45 × 112 cm panel has a depth of approximately 3.5 cm.
The 45 × 162 cm configuration is created by placing one square panel and one elongated panel together. The transition between them is visually discreet from the front, allowing the panels to appear as one continuous composition.
Future commissioned panels will normally be constructed with an approximate depth of 3.5 cm in order to reduce their overall weight. Minor variations may occur because of the natural dimensions of the individual wood slices.
Two square panels and one elongated panel are currently completed. Larger installations and alternative dimensions can also be created by special commission.
THE ARTWORK YOU WILL RECEIVE
The buyer will receive the completed panel or panel configuration corresponding to the selected dimensions.
“Tree Trunks” is an open handmade series rather than a numbered limited edition. Every panel is individually assembled from natural wood slices. Future versions may follow the same concept and technique, but variations in tree species, diameter, grain, bark and arrangement ensure that no two compositions will ever be identical.
TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
The artwork is made from eucalyptus, orange tree and pine branches collected after pruning. No trees are cut specifically for the creation of the artwork.
The branches are carefully dried and treated by the artist to protect them against wood-boring insects. They are then individually cut into slices, sanded and arranged by hand on a sturdy black-painted OSB backing panel.
A clear matte wood varnish is applied as a final protective coating. Once dry, it becomes virtually invisible, preserving the natural appearance, colour and texture of the wood.
Natural differences in grain, bark, small cracks and colour are inherent characteristics of real wood and form part of the artwork’s organic identity.
TEXTURE AND SOUND
The projecting wooden slices create an irregular three-dimensional surface that may help scatter some reflected sound within an interior.
This is primarily a decorative work of art. It has not been laboratory tested or certified as professional acoustic treatment or soundproofing material.

CUSTOM ORDERS
Alternative dimensions and larger modular installations may be created by special commission.
Production time is approximately 2–3 weeks, depending on the requested dimensions and the availability of suitable naturally pruned branches.
Because every slice of wood is unique, a commissioned panel will retain the same technique, natural character and visual philosophy but will not be an identical reproduction.
Photographs of the completed commissioned artwork will be provided to the buyer for approval before shipping.
DISPLAY
The natural wood colours and strong three-dimensional texture make this artwork particularly suitable for rustic, contemporary, biophilic, Mediterranean and industrial interiors.
It can be displayed near a fireplace, in a living room, dining area, office, hotel, restaurant or other interior where natural materials and sculptural texture are desired.
Directed interior lighting will emphasize the projecting wood slices, natural grain and changing shadows across the surface.
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 grain, bark, colour and natural surface texture are expected characteristics of genuine wood.
