Original artwork description:

Original layered encaustic painting on gesso primed greyboard from 2010
It is part of the my Birds series. Birds are recurring motifs in my creative life, I have a natural attraction for them. Symbols of freedom, inspirations for the aircraft, who also moved into cities together with us with the advent of the modern age. Different birds have different characters. The cute and wise owl, the smart and mysterious raven, the naughty seagull evoking the infinity of the seas, and the gentle city bark, the pigeon are all a spot of color. Although their facial expressions are not perceived, their movement and posture convey a wide variety of emotions.

The painting is made with self-made paint, which basically consists of pigments and beeswax. Does not contain oil or other paints.
The procedure itself dates back to antiquity and has been known for thousands of years. Only few artists around the world work with wax on its own.
Pictures made with encaustic are characterized by bright color and silky light. Thanks to the well-preserving properties of the wax, the colors do not fade over time and retain their liveliness.

Encaustics paintings, like paintings taken with oil, must be protected from water and physical influences. Do not place under glass when framing!
Over time, they become dusty or slightly oxidized by the wax. In this case, it is advisable to wipe with a slightly crumpled kitchen paper towel and the painting regain their original brilliant color and shine.
