Poppies — Encaustic Wax & Mixed Media | 22 x 22 cm

$250.00

“Poppies” is a one-of-a-kind encaustic wax and mixed media artwork. Layers of molten beeswax, pigment, and texture create a dreamy, soft-focus effect — giving each flower depth and movement as if caught in a gentle breeze.

Framed in natural timber, this piece can be wall hung or free-standing, making it perfect for a shelf, console, or intimate wall space. Its organic surface and gentle sheen invite you to look closer — each petal glowing with light beneath the wax.

Bring warmth, colour, and a touch of handmade artistry into your home — a timeless reminder that beauty often lies in the simplest things.

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.

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.
