“Live City 2” is an original handmade geometric 3D wood mosaic artwork by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis. Its modular design allows individual panels to be displayed separately or combined into a larger sculptural wall composition.
The artwork draws inspiration from the geometry of houses and buildings within a city. Each coloured wooden element can be seen as a different home, room, neighbourhood or human experience. Together, these individual forms create a lively urban composition expressing the variety of emotions, lives and stories contained within a city.

Please contact me before purchasing a custom composition consisting of two or more panels so that the dimensions, colours, orientation and price can be confirmed.
TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
Each panel is constructed from individually prepared fir and chestnut wood elements mounted on a reinforced plywood backing panel.
The wooden pieces are individually cut, sanded, wood-burned, brushed and hand-painted with acrylic colours and water-based wood stains. Their different shapes, colours and projections create a sculptural relief whose appearance changes according to the viewing angle and direction of the light.
The surface is protected with a water-based matte varnish containing wax. The finish helps protect the colours and wooden surfaces from dust and normal indoor exposure while preserving the natural appearance of the wood.
