Flower Keeper

$350.00

Encaustic Wax & Mixed Media Vessel | 25 x 26cm

There’s something quietly striking about this piece, bold, simple, and full of presence.

Flower Keeper is a one-of-a-kind encaustic wax vessel where soft ivory tones meet expressive, hand-formed black floral shapes. Each petal has been built up with layers of molten wax, creating a rich, tactile surface that shifts beautifully in the light. The organic form of the vessel adds to its charm, slightly irregular, perfectly imperfect, and full of character.

It’s about slowing down, noticing form over detail, and finding beauty in simplicity.

Lined with resin, this vessel is not only sculptural but functional, perfect for styling or simply standing alone as a statement piece.

This is a piece for collectors who love texture, contrast, and something a little different, artwork that feels both modern and timeless, and truly one of a kind.

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.

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