Encaustic Mixed Media
Soft as submerged breath,
she drifts beneath a veil of wax and light—
a nymph seeking refuge from the fury of gods.
In the hush below the world,
she becomes the quiet pulse of springs,
a mother to rising flame
and buried waters.
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.
