“Kathrin” is a contemporary 3D wood mosaic artwork exploring how a human figure can retain its presence and emotional character even when realistic details are progressively removed. The composition balances between the essential recognition of the female form and a modern, abstract artistic interpretation.
Created from 260 individually shaped wooden elements, the artwork develops a sculptural surface whose appearance changes according to the viewing angle and the direction of light. Shadows, colour transitions and variations in depth allow the figure to appear subtly different throughout the day.
The artwork shown in the photographs is completed, available and ready to ship. The buyer will receive this exact piece.
LIMITED HANDMADE SERIES
This is Version 1 of a maximum of 2 individually handmade versions. No other version has been produced or sold.
Only one additional version may be created in the future if requested. Because every wooden element is cut, finished and painted by hand, any future version will preserve the same dimensions, concept and artistic character but will have natural variations and will not be an exact duplicate.

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE
The composition is constructed from a combination of natural woods mounted on a 12 mm OSB supporting panel. Each wooden element was individually cut, sanded, selectively burned and hand-painted using acrylic colours and wood stains.
The surface is protected with a water-based matte varnish containing wax, helping protect the colours and wood while maintaining a natural, low-sheen appearance.
Please note that the OSB supporting panel is part of the original construction method used for this specific 2022 artwork.

The artwork is supplied with fitted hanging points on the reverse and is ready for wall installation. Due to its size and weight, installation by two people is recommended. Wall screws and plugs should always be selected according to the construction and condition of the wall.
A Dreamodelers installation guide is included.
