Dot to Dot

$100.00

16 × 16 cm | Encaustic wax / mixed media | Resin-lined interior

There’s something quietly captivating about Dot to Dot. With its smooth black surface punctuated by hand-formed white circular marks, this sculptural vessel plays with rhythm, balance, and simplicity. Each mark is slightly different—intuitive, imperfect, and deeply human.

The glossy resin-lined interior contrasts beautifully with the soft matte wax exterior, creating a sense of depth and luminosity. Whether displayed on a shelf, table, or in a curated art nook, Dot to Dot brings an understated modern elegance to any space.

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.
