Description
About artist: Anna (she/her) is a Dublin-based artist practising multiple mediums since 2010. She has had a special interest in encaustic art since 2019 and is fascinated by the process in creating a piece from the beginning to the end. She is inspired by abstract landscapes and the translucency of the medium. She strives to capture the depth of feeling landscapes can offer. She loves creating pieces that inspire introspection , meditation, and reflection. The art pieces also involve the want to touch them. The textures and the shine of the peace is so inviting it’s almost irresistible. Anna loves Encaustic Art as it is such an ancient and powerful medium used by the ancient Egyptians. The painting is made up of pigmented beeswax that is layered on top of each other and set with a blowtorch. The layers of wax and pigment create a depth and translucency capturing what Anna is trying to illustrate, a mood, a feeling, a memory. Multiple techniques can be explored in any given piece, they can then be scraped back to add more dimension and texture, or it can be kept smooth to elicit more of a dreamlike response.
About artwork: I love the sense of change in this piece, and Hayward feels like ireland. It is like being on a cliff edge and reminds me of how powerful nature is and how it can feed us. I feel stronger when I look at this painting Care Advice: Do not cover the encaustic piece with glass as it is Beeswax and needs air. Once a year or when the piece appears dull, simply buff with some muslin cloth and see the shine come back.
