The Visitor #1

$280.00
sold out


This unique one-of-a-kind artwork, The Visitor #1, captures a fleeting, magical moment between bloom and bee. Created using the ancient technique of encaustic wax painting, rich floral tones and layers of translucent wax give this piece a soft, dreamy texture you can almost feel. The curious little bee—the “visitor”—brings a sense of movement and wonder, like you’ve just caught a still from a quiet garden daydream.

Perfect for anyone who appreciates nature-inspired art with a touch of whimsy, this piece will bring warmth and character to your home. It’s not just a painting—it’s a quiet moment, preserved.

Whether you’re a collector or simply someone who loves a story in their art, this is a work that’s sure to spark conversations and invite calm.

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.

WHY YOU SHOULD OWN IT

  • One-of-a-kind: No prints, no copies. This is a truly original artwork.

  • Nature-inspired: Ideal for lovers of bees, blooms, and peaceful garden moments.

  • Layered encaustic finish: Adds beautiful depth, texture, and a luminous glow.

  • Conversation piece: Subtle yet captivating, it invites closer inspection.

  • Mindful décor: Perfect for living spaces, bedrooms, or calm corners of your home.
