Retro Gerberas - Encaustic wax and mixed media on panel | 42 x 62 cm |

$650.00

Radiating warmth and nostalgia, Retro Gerberas captures the simple joy of colour and form. A vibrant vintage vase in rich orange-red tones holds three cheerful gerbera blooms, their petals softened through layers of encaustic wax to create a luminous, timeworn beauty. The surface reveals delicate texture and depth—an echo of memory and light that feels both familiar and timeless.

This one-of-a-kind artwork brings warmth and joy to any space. Perfect for collectors who love the tactile richness of encaustic wax, mid-century inspired design, and the beauty of everyday objects reimagined through art.

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 Art65

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.
