What is Encaustic
Encaustic is a unique wax-based medium made from beeswax, damar resin, and pigment. Heated to a liquid state, it is applied in layers and fused with a torch, creating depth and luminosity difficult to achieve with other materials.
This dynamic medium shifts between fluid and solid states, requiring both control and spontaneity. Mastering its flow while embracing its unpredictability is a delicate balance—when it works, the results are magical.
Encaustic is highly versatile, supporting styles from abstract to realistic, integration with mixed media, and even sculptural applications. I explore its possibilities through thematic series, pushing each idea in new directions.
