Silver Threads

$195.00

Bold, playful, and full of texture, this one-of-a-kind encaustic wax artwork brings a modern splash of pink, black, and white stripes into your space. The rich layers of wax create a soft sheen and subtle incised effect, giving the piece a tactile depth you can’t help but admire up close.

Whether styled in a contemporary living room, a minimalist office, or a creative studio, this artwork adds a fresh pop of colour and personality without overwhelming a space. It’s the perfect choice for someone who loves clean lines with a touch of whimsy and wants a statement piece that’s both stylish and unique.

As an original encaustic work, no two pieces can ever be replicated—making this a truly special addition to your art collection or a thoughtful gift for someone who loves modern Australian 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 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.
