Big Blue – Encaustic Wax & Mixed Media Bowl - 22 x 22cm
There’s something hypnotic about the depths of blue — that endless sense of calm and mystery. Big Blue captures that feeling perfectly. Handcrafted in encaustic wax and mixed media, this spherical vessel features an intricately etched surface that reveals layers of texture and light.
The inside is resin-lined, giving it a beautiful glossy contrast and making it both sculptural and functional. Whether placed on a sideboard, console, or dining table, Big Blue brings a bold sense of serenity to any interior.
Every piece from Studio Fifty Three is one-of-a-kind — no moulds, no duplicates — just a unique creation infused with colour, texture, and the maker’s hand.
Why you’ll love it:
A true statement piece inspired by nature and the sea
The etched encaustic surface changes subtly with light
Lined in resin for durability and easy care
Ideal for collectors of contemporary handmade art

What is Encaustic Wax Painting?
Encaustic painting is an ancient art form that uses natural beeswax mixed with damar resin (a tree sap) and pigments to create beautifully layered, luminous artworks. Each layer of wax is painted on while warm and then fused with heat, giving the surface a gorgeous depth and a soft, tactile quality you can’t get with other mediums. Every piece is unique, with textures and details that shift and change as the light catches them.
How to Care for Your Encaustic Art
Encaustic wax is surprisingly durable – it’s been around since ancient Egypt, after all! Your piece won’t melt under normal home conditions, but it’s best to keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters, or extreme heat. Dust it gently with a soft cloth if needed, and over time, you may notice the surface developing a soft, natural sheen – this is perfectly normal and part of the charm of encaustic art. With just a little love, your artwork will last for generations.
