“Live City 1” is an original handmade geometric wood wall sculpture by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis, created as a colourful three-dimensional mosaic of individually prepared wooden elements.
The composition is inspired by the geometry of houses within an imaginary living city. Different colours, shapes and depths suggest the individual lives, emotions and experiences contained within each home and neighbourhood. As the light and viewing angle change, shadows move across the surface and reveal different relationships between the wooden elements.
MADE-TO-ORDER ARTWORK
This listing is made to order and is available as a single panel, a two-panel composition or a three-panel composition.
The photographs show previously created examples and illustrate the intended character, colours and construction of the series. Because every wooden element is individually selected, cut, treated and painted by hand, the artwork created for you will have its own natural variations and will not be an exact mechanical reproduction.
Photographs of the completed artwork will be sent to you for approval before dispatch.

Each panel can be displayed vertically or horizontally. Multiple panels may be positioned next to one another to form a larger modular composition.
TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
The sculpture is constructed from small pieces of pine and selected reclaimed wood mounted on a reinforced painted plywood backing panel.
Each wooden element is individually:
• selected and cut • sanded and brushed • wood-burned • hand-painted with acrylic colours or water-based wood stains • positioned at a different depth to create the sculptural relief
The finished surface is protected with a water-based matte varnish containing wax. This provides discreet protection while preserving the natural appearance, grain and texture of the wood.
COLOUR AND CUSTOMIZATION
The colour palette combines black, brown, pink, orange, light blue, green, purple and natural wood tones.
Alternative colours, dimensions or arrangements may be discussed before ordering. Please contact me if you would like the artwork adapted to a particular interior, colour palette or wall space.
Because wood is a natural material, variations in grain, colour, small cracks and surface texture are inherent characteristics of each handmade artwork.
