Flutter

$160.00

Encaustic Wax / Mixed Media | 14 × 24 cm × 4.5 cm block

Flutter is a gentle, nostalgic piece that captures the feeling of a dress caught mid-movement — light, feminine, and full of quiet memory. Soft blush tones, subtle florals, and expressive mark-making are layered into encaustic wax, creating a sense of motion and fragility that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

This one-of-a-kind artwork invites the viewer to notice the beauty in small moments. The sculptural block format allows Flutter to stand beautifully on a shelf, console, or mantel, making it an intimate and versatile piece for your home.

Perfect for collectors who love texture, storytelling, and art that feels quietly emotional rather than loud, Flutter brings warmth, calm, and a gentle sense of joy into 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 applied while warm and then fused with heat, giving the surface a gorgeous depth and a soft, tactile quality you can’t achieve with other mediums.

Every encaustic piece is completely unique, with textures and details that subtly shift as the light catches the surface.

How to Care for Your Encaustic Art

Encaustic wax is surprisingly durable — it’s been around since ancient Egypt, after all! Your artwork 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 the surface developing a soft, natural sheen — this is perfectly normal and part of the beauty of encaustic art. With a little love, your piece will last for generations.

Why You’ll Love This Piece

  • A truly one-of-a-kind artwork — no reproductions

  • Soft, sculptural encaustic wax with beautiful depth and texture

  • A meaningful, timeless piece that suits modern, classic, or eclectic interiors

  • Easy to style on shelves, sideboards, or gallery walls

  • An artwork that feels personal, nostalgic, and quietly joyful
