    Her passion is the figurative encaustic

    In the Gallery section, we present an artist in the person of Dora Stork Encaustic Artist, who uses modern tools to create lasting works with an ancient wax painting technique called encaustic. Her works often hold up a crooked mirror to a current political situation, and this is resoundingly reflected in the artist's OSB boards.

    Care instruction of my encaustic painting

    Care instruction of my encaustic painting

    The my encaustic painting is made with self-made paint, which basically consists of pigments and beeswax. Does not contain oil or other paints. The procedure itself dates back to antiquity and has been known for thousands of years. Only few artists around the world work with wax on its own. Artworks made with encaustic are characterized by bright color and silky light. Thanks to the well-preserving properties of the wax, the colors do not fade over time and retain their liveliness. Encaustics paintings, like paintings taken with oil, must be protected from water and physical influences. Do not place under glass when framing! Over time, they become dusty or slightly oxidized by the wax. In this case, it is advisable to wipe with a slightly crumpled kitchen paper towel and the painting regain their original brilliant color and shine.

    The encaustic painting

    The encaustic painting

    In the photo are my tools and materials for my encaustic. The encaustic painting comes from the age of ancient. Encausting meaning „to burn it”. Its the essence is that the molten beeswax is used as a binder for pigment. Used it at 80 degrees. The procedure is quite difficult because it has to be painted quickly because it’s almost immediatly solidigyed in seconds. It is best to apply to rigid materials for example the wood. Because then the painting will not refracted as on the canvas. Wax does not deteriorate, so these images are very durable and colours are not fading. Ready-made pictures do not require special treatment, enough wipe with dust-free soft cloth and protect away from radiant heat.
