Original artwork description:

This encaustic still life captures the quiet beauty of an ordinary garden harvest — scarlet beans and tender pea vines arranged in a simple glass vase. The reflective surface of the jar and the soft, layered wax textures create a meditative balance between fragility and endurance. The composition is alive with subtle motion: curling tendrils, fading leaves, and the fleeting shimmer of light suggest the natural cycle of vitality and decay.

Technically, the work combines the transparency of wax with the matte softness of greyboard, creating depth and a natural diffusion of colors. The interplay of greens and reds brings both harmony and tension, while the encaustic medium preserves a tactile sense of the artist’s hand.
