Original Encaustic Wax & Mixed Media Artwork
20 x 25 cm
Framed 

Description

There’s something magical about the quiet moment just before a bee disappears into a flower. Last stop #1 captures that fleeting pause, a tiny pollinator suspended in soft morning light above a sea of blue agapanthus blooms.

As someone who works in encaustic wax, bees have become a recurring symbol in my work. They represent connection, resilience and the remarkable relationship between nature and creativity. This one-of-a-kind artwork is perfect for collectors who love botanical art, contemporary interiors and meaningful pieces that tell a story.

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.
