Original artwork description:

Outbreak captures the moment of rupture — a fragile glass goblet shattered, releasing two golden fish into the unknown. The composition balances between elegance and chaos: the vessel, once containing and preserving life, now broken and powerless; the fish, symbols of hope and continuity, suspended in a state of disruption.

Painted with the encaustic technique on raw OSB board, the texture is rich, tactile, and expressive. The dramatic brushstrokes in the background evoke turbulence and emotional unrest, echoing the global atmosphere of 2020. This work is both a personal and collective reflection — on containment, escape, and the price of transformation.

PLEASE KINDLY NOTE:
- the colors in life may slightly vary from the photo due to lighting sources or monitor settings.
- the parcel will be sent from Hungary. Should the delivery address be outside the EU, the recipient may need to declare the painting and pay some local VAT and customs duties.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Materials used:

Pure encaustic, hot wax and pigments on OSB board
