Encaustics Gallery Abstracts: BeesWax, Texture and Colour

Discover the enchanting world of encaustic abstracts, where tradition meets innovation. Encaustic art, a technique dating back to ancient Greece, uses heated beeswax mixed with vibrant pigments to create rich, textured works of art. Our encaustic abstracts are a symphony of colour, texture and form, offering a unique visual experience that captures the essence of both nature and imagination.

Each piece is meticulously crafted, layering wax and pigment to build depth and dimension, resulting in a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The fluidity of the medium allows for an expressionistic approach, where the elemental forces of nature inspire abstract forms and stunning visual narratives.

Explore our collection and let the hypnotic allure of encaustic art transform your environment with timeless beauty and contemporary flair.

Caring for Encaustics

The finish of the paint is like a satin enamel. It can be buffed with a soft cloth resulting in a shiny finish and enhance the colours.

Encaustic paintings cure over time. This is due to the addition of dammar resin that makes the paint harder and more resilient over time. Varnishing is unnecessary, as encaustic contains beeswax which is highly water-resistant and is often used to varnish oil paintings. Because of this, encaustic is a very stable and long-lasting medium. Encaustic paint will melt at temperatures of 72°C and above, but it will remain solid in normal  conditions.  Avoid extreme temperatures both hot and cold.
