The Visitor #4 – Original Encaustic Wax Artwork (30 x 30 cm)

A curious bee hovers toward a lush bouquet of blooming peonies in this dreamy encaustic wax artwork. The Visitor #4 captures a moment of stillness, softness, and nature’s quiet magic.

This is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted encaustic piece

Whether you’re drawn to bees, flowers, or just need a little nature in your life, this piece makes a beautiful statement and a meaningful gift.

Size: 30 x 30 cm

Medium: Encaustic wax & mixed media on wood panel

Framed in solid wood, ready to hang

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.
