A living canopy rendered in almost 13,000 hand-cut, dyed wood pixels.
Each block has a defined height and tone so the trunk, branches, canopy, and sky emerge in relief as light moves across the surface.
Original artwork (one of one)
Dimensions: 120 × 60 cm (approx.)
Pixel count: almost 13,000 individual blocks
Relief: 10 distinct height levels (trunk → branches → canopy → sky)
Build time: well over 100 hours of hands-on work
Presentation: slim wooden frame
This piece sits at TimberPixel’s crossroads of craft and science: a clear portrait of a tree built from a rule-based system. Up close you see the facets, grain, and tiny height steps; from across the room the structure resolves into a breathing crown.
Medium: softwood blocks (cut, dyed, glued by hand) on a rigid panel
Method: custom software generates the design and cut plan; each pixel is placed to maintain branching hierarchy and depth
Display away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve dye vibrancy.
Cleaning: use compressed air to remove dust from the relief. Avoid liquid cleaners and high humidity.
Wood is a natural material; grain and subtle tone shifts are part of the work’s character. Colour will shift with the light—raking light accentuates the relief and brings the canopy to life.
Shipped crated by pallet freight. Flat-rate shipping at checkout: Netherlands €150, Belgium & Germany €250, rest of the EU €400. Outside the EU, or if you'd like a precise quote first, get in touch via the contact page. Hanging hardware fitted.
