Original artwork description:

This painting is part of my Series of Hungary Today, which consists of my political critical and social critical artworks.
The painting was inspired by one of the most famous Hungarian poems which is about the English occupation of Wales by Edward I of England. Portrayed in the ballad, there are 3 bards who should hail the king at the gala dinner. In the end, together with another 500 bards were burned at the stake because they sang the gruesome acts of the king.
This ‘poem of praise’ was written for the arrival of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria to Hungary. For me, this theme has an everlasting relevance for the toxic political culture of today.

In recent years, I have used OSB as a basis. By retracting the paint layers, I use the texture of the veneer as part of my compositions to create a unique rustic industrial atmosphere. Due to the OSB board, these works of art are very stable but heavy. This is recycled art.
The 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.

This work will be delivered with Care Instructions for my encaustic paintings and a signed certificate of authenticity. Carefully packaged and tracked shipping. I ship this work in cardboard boxes carefully wrapped in bubble foil and protect the painting with cardboard.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
I ship the painting from Hungary, thus international shipments may be subject to additional import taxes, customs duties, or fees imposed by the destination country which are to be paid by the buyer. Please keep this in mind when buying the artwork.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Materials used:

Pure encaustic, hot wax and pigments on OSB plate
