Flourish

$265.00

Flourish is a gentle celebration of nature’s quiet beauty — a delicate bouquet captured in encaustic wax and mixed media, softly suspended against a creamy backdrop. At 28 x 28cm, this one-of-a-kind piece has a serene, dreamy quality; its translucent layers create an almost ethereal effect, as if the flowers are gently glowing from within.

With its subtle colours and organic shapes, Flourish brings a sense of calm and elegance into any room. It’s perfect for collectors who appreciate art that feels thoughtful and poetic — a piece that invites pause, reflection, and a moment of stillness in a busy world.

Whether styled in a living space, bedroom, entryway or gallery wall, Flourish has a quiet presence that complements both modern and traditional interiors. Its tactile wax surface and handcrafted finish make it a truly personal artwork — one that will never be recreated, and that you’ll treasure for years to come.

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.

Why You’ll Love Owning This Artwork

  • it’s a one-of-a-kind original — not a print

  • encaustic wax gives it depth and texture you can’t replicate

  • calming floral imagery brings warmth and softness into your home

  • versatile size — easy to style in small or large spaces

  • ideal for gift-giving or as a first encaustic piece for new collectors

I’m delighted to send my artwork to collectors all around the world.
