“Optical Message No. 15 — Spring Path” is an original handmade three-dimensional wall sculpture by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis.
Created as an abstract visual message, the composition suggests spring and a steady path through the ordered progression of its colours, forms and projecting wooden elements. Its rhythm and balanced structure evoke stability, beauty and a sense of order.
THE ARTWORK YOU WILL RECEIVE
The photographed artwork is completed and ready to ship. The buyer will receive this exact piece shown in the listing photographs.
This is Version 1 of a maximum of 4 individually handmade versions. No other version has been sold. After this piece is sold, up to three additional versions may be created.
Because reclaimed wood and every individual element are prepared by hand, future versions will show visible differences in wood grain, colour distribution, surface marks and composition. They will not be identical reproductions.
TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS
The artwork is constructed on a reclaimed pine wood base collected near the sea and originating from previous human use. The wood was naturally dried, inspected and given mild protective treatment against insects.
Smaller pine and OSB elements are individually cut, prepared and attached directly to the reclaimed wooden base. The surface combines acrylic colours, water-based wood stains and wood-burning techniques.
A water-based matte varnish containing wax protects the colours and wooden surfaces from dust and normal indoor exposure.
The different projections of the wooden elements create a sculptural relief that changes with the direction of the light and the viewer’s position.
