Original artwork description:

From my new wax works series "Chaos and Destruction" this painting resembles old and deteriorated doors I have seen in cities like Berlin and Hamburg. You can see paint that has long gone, you can see rust and dirt, scratches, but also these old and lost places have a big fascination for me and the colors are talking stories of former times and can make a brilliant natural composition of colors. I always wonder what has been behind these doors, what was life like in those days, what have people dreamt of and what have they lost?

This painting was done in many layers on wood, part of it being waxed and treated with heat (Encaustic Art), so it has a very nice smooth surface that is half shiny and very nice to touch. The wooden box it is painted on can be hung directly onto the wall or be put in a nice floating frame. But the sides are painted, too, so framing would take something away from the painting.

Signed on the back, comes with Certificate of Authenticity.
