Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy that includes the acceptance and appreciation of simplicity, the ordinary, and the imperfect. It can be described as finding beauty in things that are impermanent and incomplete. And also wabi-sabi is an aesthetic, a state of mind, a mix of emotions, and a way of perceiving life . . .

It reminds me that we are all transient beings on this planet. And that our bodies, as well as the material world around us, are in the process of returning to dust. Also, I learned to embrace the beauty of the old and the mystical, where the presence of cracks and scratches are considered to be symbolic of the passing of time, weather…

I love it, it so perfectly fits how I like to work and create. I have always been drawn to weathered objects that have character, and symbolize a sense of timelessness and history, each with their own story and season. Moreover, I find this practice to be a beautiful, meditative one that brings me great calm and peace.

The fundamental principle of the wabi-sabi concept is a connection to earth and natural materials. It focuses on organic textures and earthy hues. I feel a strong connection with nature when working with wood. Texture imitates a living earth, while the soft scent of wooden surfaces takes me away to the forest.

Ultimately, I use recycled wood for my work, which I collect by myself in different places. Besides, wood accumulates and radiates powerful energy. And also, when you touch wood, it seems to be alive and breathing. The intricate grain patterns tell a story. Knots, little cracks, and every single piece is unique with its history and memory, and exceptional beauty in the marks left by time.

Celebrating Earth Day. Eco Art/ Sustainable Design

Earth Day is a very special day specifically designed for all of us to think about our planet’s issues. It is not only a special day in the town where we live, but a day that the whole world participates in! Let’s celebrate it together with eco-art and sustainable design!

Eco-friendly wooden wall sculpture for Earth Day — Solo Art Exhibition at Ajax ON Town Hall, March 19 – April 23, 2020

The unique wall-hanging sculptures, eco art and sustainable design made entirely from recycled wood, were designed and created to inspire the audience to see things in a different way and to share a positive message on how we can reuse and recycle in creative way. Recycling is the future, our mother Earth has limited resources and we have to learn how to REuse, REcycle and Reduce our materials and products consumption in order to decrease our footprint.

I do some ‘non-traditional art’, made from recycled wood that has been abandoned by industries. There is a great pleasure in giving the wood a second life. In my belief, wood retains the spirit of the living tree and I just try to honour it. Much of my inspiration comes from the wood itself. Collecting wood simply for its natural beauty is the start of many of my works. Old wood has scratches, cracks, knots and other imperfections that are similar to real life. Every piece of wood is like a person, with its unique character, challenges and strengths.

Second Life. Artistic repurposing of the dead tree.

Giving Trees a Second Life: A Philosophy in Wood

Nature never truly dies — it transforms.

At Woodblocks Design, we create art from dead trees, giving discarded trunks, branches, and fallen limbs a second chance at meaning. These pieces once stood tall, offering shade, life, and quiet presence in the world. Now, they speak again — not through leaves, but through texture, tone, and form.

The Process of Artistic Repurposing

Every reclaimed tree tells a story.

When we receive salvaged wood — from a storm-felled maple, an uprooted cedar, or a rotting oak — we listen. The shape of the grain, the knots, the imperfections all guide our hands. Instead of forcing the material, we collaborate with it.

The result is sculpture with soul: raw, refined, imperfect, and alive in a new way.

Creating art from dead trees isn’t just a poetic act — it’s a sustainable one.

Repurposing wood minimizes waste, honors natural resources, and contributes to conscious design. In an era of overproduction and fast consumption, our work invites stillness and reverence.

Each piece is one-of-a-kind — not only because of the tree it came from, but because of the energy we put into reclaiming it.

Our sculptures live in homes, offices, meditation spaces, and galleries — wherever stillness and natural beauty are welcome.

Clients often commission pieces that hold personal meaning: a tree from their childhood home, a branch from a favorite trail, a log saved from a fire. These works are not just art — they are memory made physical.

Explore & Commission

If you’re drawn to the idea of living with a story-rich object, we invite you to explore our acoustic wood panels and custom sculpture work.

“A fallen tree becomes a canvas. The past becomes texture. The discarded becomes sacred.”
