Smokey

$150.00

This one-of-a-kind encaustic wax and mixed media vase is hand-built and painted with soft grey florals that gently wrap around a creamy white surface. Measuring 20cm x 18cm, it’s the perfect size to display on a shelf, console or dining table. The natural texture and subtle sheen of the wax finish give it a warm, organic feel while the modern grey petals keep it fresh and versatile. The interior is lined in resin which makes it functional art

If you love collecting art that’s handmade, original and meaningful, this piece will add personality to your home and start conversations with anyone who sees it. Each mark and petal is created by hand — no two will ever be the same.

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.
