Ocean Whispers

$260.00

Ocean Whispers captures that peaceful moment when the sea is calm, the breeze is gentle, and the light dances across shifting blue-green waters. Layered textures of wax and pigment create a sense of movement and depth, almost like looking beneath the surface to where sunlight softens and dissolves into cool turquoise.

This artwork is perfect for anyone wanting to bring a sense of calm and coastal serenity into their home. Whether it’s styled in a beach house, a modern minimalist space, or a nature-inspired interior, Ocean Whispers adds tranquility, texture, and a soft pop of colour without overwhelming a room.

As a one-of-a-kind encaustic piece, it offers a tactile beauty that changes with the light — making it a conversation starter and a timeless, collectible artwork you’ll enjoy for years.

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.
