THE WINDOW — AN OPENING TO THE WORLD
An abstract human figure stands before an open window, looking beyond a softly coloured interior towards a blue expanse.
For me, this figure is a form of self-portrait: the artist inside the studio, deciding to share his feelings, questions and creativity with the world. The open window becomes a new beginning — a moment when something held within finds its way outward.
Handmade by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis in his Dreamodelers studio. Original composition: 2024.
THE ARTWORK YOU WILL RECEIVE
This listing is for ONE newly handmade version of The Window.
The photographs show the first version as a reference. Your artwork will follow its composition, proportions, colour palette and material approach.
Small differences in the wood, shaped copper elements, painted surfaces and arrangement will give each handmade version its own character.
Photographs of your completed artwork will be sent to you for approval before dispatch.
LIMITED SERIES
The Window is limited to a maximum of three individually handmade versions in total.
One version has already been created. Up to two additional versions may be produced.
The signed Certificate of Authenticity will record your artwork’s sequential version number and actual year of completion, with reference to the original 2024 composition.
TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
Oak wood, shaped copper elements and thick sandwich construction board used for architectural models are assembled on stretched canvas.
The layered construction brings the figure, window and surrounding interior into physical relief. Acrylic colours unite the materials in pale pink, yellow, brown and blue.
A water-based matte varnish containing wax protects the finished surfaces and gives them a subtle sheen.
