Kaleidoscope Encaustic wax / mixed media with green resin line 18 x 17 cm | One-of-a-kind

$180.00

Kaleidoscope is one of those pieces that shifts the mood of a space the moment it arrives. Layers of luminous encaustic wax draw you in, while striking green resin lines the vessel bringing movement, contrast, and a sense of rhythm.

This work was inspired by those fleeting moments when everything feels in motion, light changing, thoughts overlapping, patterns forming and dissolving. Like looking through a kaleidoscope, no two angles feel quite the same. The etched textures and soft translucency of the wax create depth that changes throughout the day, making it a piece you’ll keep discovering over time.

Perfect for collectors who love work with texture, story, and a contemporary edge, Kaleidoscope sits beautifully in both modern interiors and layered, character-filled spaces. It’s a conversation starter, but also something quietly grounding.

If you’re drawn to artwork that feels alive and ever-changing, this piece will feel right at home with you.

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.

Shipping for International Collectors

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.
