Original artwork description:

In this evocative piece, titled "The Duchess," I captured the regal elegance of a bird, a hen, against a dramatic, dark background. The careful interplay of light and shadow creates a striking contrast that accentuates the intricate textures of the feathers, reminiscent of the lavish robes of aristocracy. The bird's poised posture and intense gaze evoke a sense of quiet dignity, suggesting an air of nobility. This painting invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty hidden within the simplest forms of nature, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Original layered encaustic painting on gesso-primed greyboard from 2010
It is part of my Birds series.

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 a few artists around the world work with wax on its own.
Pictures made with encaustic are characterized by bright colors and silky light. Thanks to the well-preserving properties of the wax, the colors do not fade over time and retain their liveliness.

This work will be delivered with an invoice and a signed certificate of authenticity. Carefully packaged and tracked shipping. I ship this work in cardboard boxes careful wrapped in bubble foil and protect the painting with cardboard.
If you like my paintings you can have a piece of art for your beloved place.
