Artist Timur Zagirov has a unique way of taking famous paintings, and reinterpreting them using carefully stained and painted wooden blocks, arranged in just the right angles.

Up close, the blocks become an indistinguishable wooden tapestry, colored in the various hues that makeup the painting.

Stand back, and the famous piece of art reveals itself. The attention to detail is hugely impressive, and the painstaking craft is something to admire.
