(rendered here as Galati, a distilled, intimate variation)
Quiet made personal
Galati is Galatea remembered in a whisper.
Where Galatea opens into breadth and calm, Galati turns inward—an echo rather than a declaration. This work holds intimacy and restraint, the kind of stillness that feels chosen, not imposed. Light gathers softly, as if the water itself were listening.
Layers of encaustic and image settle close to the surface, creating a sense of nearness and quiet resolve. Galati belongs in spaces meant for reflection—bedrooms, alcoves, private rooms where serenity is felt at arm’s length.
Galati draws from the myth of Galatea, the sea nymph known for compassion, devotion, and quiet strength. In this telling, Galati is not a separate figure, but a concentrated presence—Galatea’s essence distilled into a more personal scale of feeling.
She represents serenity made intimate: the power to remain gentle, the grace of choosing stillness, the devotion that does not seek witness. Galati’s story speaks to the quieter chapters of myth—the moments between tides, where meaning gathers softly and endures.
A one-of-a-kind mixed media artwork merging modern underwater photography with fine art materials — where myth and motion intertwine.
Created through a process that merges modern photography and printmaking with the ancient art of encaustic, layers of molten beeswax, oils, and resins are built up and fused with fire. The textured surface invites touch, its translucent depth suggesting both concealment and revelation. A one-of-a-kind encaustic mixed media painting — where photography, molten beeswax, and oils merge to reveal a serene underwater world. Layers of texture and translucency create a luminous depth that can only be achieved through fire and time.
