Original artwork description:

Pure encaustic, hot wax, and pigments on OSB

In this pure encaustic work, molten beeswax and pigments merge to create a haunting vision inspired by Budapest’s iconic Anonymus statue. Cloaked in secrecy and shadow, the seated figure embodies the quiet weight of economic hardship and social uncertainty. The rich, layered surface contrasts the stillness of the figure with a restless, textured backdrop, evoking the tension between inner endurance and external chaos. The subtle coin motif hints at fragility — a reminder of how easily economic balance can be disrupted, with far-reaching consequences.

Dear Customer,
Your artwork will be shipped using Saatchi Art’s professional packing standards, ensuring museum-quality protection: multiple layers of bubble wrap, rigid cardboard panels, and a double-walled cardboard box. All shipments are fully insured and require an in-person signature upon delivery — I never allow works to be left unattended.
