Encaustic painting, an ancient technique dating back to Classical Greece, involves mixing pigments in a heated blend of beeswax and damar resin on a heated palette.

This medium is renowned for its exceptional permanence, as the wax resists moisture and mold while repelling dust. Encaustic offers a wide range of effects, from opacity to transparency, and allows for robust impastos that enhance the artwork’s materiality. It is this unique interplay between tactile sensation and visual perception that defines the singularity of the medium.
