Commissioned as a large-scale custom piece, “Smokin’ Hot” is composed of 2,867 individually hand-cut wooden tiles arranged to form a bold portrait measuring 4.2” x 5.4”. Set against a warm pink background, the cowboy’s confident gaze and casually held cigarette, with its curling trail of smoke, give the piece a sense of playful personality and charm. The figure’s hat and classic Western styling evoke vintage Americana, while the soft tonal shifts created by each wooden tile add depth and movement across the portrait. The striking and charismatic subject constitutes a finished work that balances humor, nostalgia, and craftsmanship.

Owing to the use of natural materials, the artwork should be maintained in a temperature-controlled environment, safeguarded from moisture and direct sunlight, to ensure the preservation of its beauty and structural integrity. Beyond its aesthetic qualities, this piece also functions as an effective sound diffuser, enhancing the acoustical character of any space.
