Original Encaustic Wax & Mixed Media Block Artworks
Part of an ongoing collectible series by Karen Canning | Studio fifty three
There’s something joyful and freeing about the Flying In series, like little moments of movement and wonder captured in wax. These one-of-a-kind encaustic wax and mixed media block artworks were inspired by the feeling of things arriving unexpectedly into our lives, birds drifting into the garden, changing seasons, quiet beauty, new beginnings.
Built up in luminous layers of encaustic wax, each piece has its own personality and subtle details that reveal themselves as the light shifts across the surface. The dreamy textures, soft marks, and tactile depth create artworks that feel both contemporary and timeless.
These smaller block works are perfect for collectors who love meaningful, handcrafted art that brings warmth and character into a space. Beautiful displayed individually or grouped together as a series, Flying In #1 #2 #3 #4 add an artistic focal point to shelves, gallery walls, bedside styling, or layered interior spaces.
Perfect for art collectors and interior lovers looking for something truly unique, tactile, and full of story.
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.
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. Because each piece is unique and shipping costs vary depending on size, weight, and destination, international customers are encouraged to get in touch for the best shipping option and quote. This way, I can ensure your artwork is safely packaged and shipped at the most reliable and cost-effective rate for your location.
