Original artwork description:

This painting reimagines the façade of an 1897 building in Újpest, a structure that today stands in a damaged and neglected state. I recreated it as a restored vision — how it once looked, and how it could look again. The sculptural encaustic surface rebuilds the lost stonework, ornamentation and architectural rhythm, giving the work the tactile presence of carved heritage. It is both an homage and a reconstruction, a dialogue between urban memory and renewal.

Created with pure encaustic on OSB panel, this artwork features layered textures, gold–blue contrasts and detailed European architectural motifs. The surface reveals carved relief effects typical of historic stone façades. Ideal for collectors interested in architecture, cultural heritage, urban history and richly textured contemporary painting. One-of-a-kind, framed and ready to hang.

Materials used:

Pure encaustic, hot wax and pigments on OSB
