The Quite Within

$140.00

The Quiet Within is a gentle reminder of stillness in a busy world. This one-of-a-kind sculptural vessel (17 x 17cm) is created using encaustic wax and plaster, with the interior beautifully lined in glossy turquoise resin. The outside features hand-etched vertical lines across a deep charcoal surface, giving it an earthy, tactile presence, while the smooth inner glow adds a calming contrast.

Whether displayed on a console, bookshelf, coffee table or entry hall, this piece invites reflection and tranquillity. Its rounded form and textural detail make it a standout for collectors who appreciate slow craft, organic shapes, and subtle elegance. The Quiet Within isn’t just décor — it’s a grounding element for your space, encouraging calm and thoughtful presence.

Perfect for styling contemporary homes, minimalist spaces, or nature-inspired interiors, this vessel is a timeless keepsake that brings both texture and serenity into your everyday environment.

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. 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. This way, I can ensure your artwork is safely packaged and shipped at the most reliable and cost-effective rate for your location.
