Holiday Treasure #2

$250.00

Holiday Treasure #2 is a 20 × 25cm encaustic wax artwork inspired by the feeling of discovering something precious and timeless. Part of the Holiday Treasure series, this piece carries a quiet sense of nostalgia, like a treasured vessel uncovered from a faraway place, filled with stories, memories, and beauty collected over time.

The soft, smoky tones and carved details create a beautifully tactile surface that invites you closer. Layers of encaustic wax give the artwork its dreamy depth and luminous quality, while the simple composition makes it feel both contemporary and timeless. Framed in natural timber, Holiday Treasure #1 works beautifully in modern, coastal, minimalist, and earthy interiors.

This artwork is perfect for collectors who are drawn to meaningful pieces with texture, warmth, and soul. It’s a conversation starter — subtle yet striking — bringing a sense of calm and quiet luxury to your 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 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.

I’m delighted to send my artwork to collectors all around the world.
