Black Daisies

$100.00

Black Daisies is a small but striking original artwork that celebrates contrast, texture and quiet beauty. Created using encaustic wax, plaster and resin, this piece has a rich, tactile surface where soft floral forms emerge from layered blacks and earthy tones and is lined in resin. The subtle play between light and shadow gives the work a gentle depth, inviting you to slow down and really look.

Each mark and layer has been built by hand, making this artwork truly one of a kind. Its compact 15 x 15cm size makes it perfect for a shelf, nook, or gallery wall, adding a touch of moody elegance and handcrafted warmth to any space.

This piece is ideal for collectors who love texture, natural materials, and artworks that reveal more the longer you live with them.

Medium: Encaustic wax, plaster & resin

Size: 15 x 15 cm

One-of-a-kind original artwork

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 gently with a soft cloth if needed. Over time, you may notice a soft natural sheen develop — this is part of the beauty and character of encaustic art.

Why You’ll Love This Piece

  • One-of-a-kind original artwork

  • Beautifully tactile surface with depth and movement

  • Perfect for small spaces or as part of a curated vignette

  • A timeless piece that brings warmth and quiet elegance to any room
