The One Not Forgotten

This original 8x8 encaustic wax painting is a moody, midnight-toned grid. An inky charcoal/black surface carved with a repeating field of small cross marks. The wax holds every scrape, line, and softened edge, creating a weathered, tactile depth that shifts with the light. One single gold cross filled with gold leaf, like a small moment of hope inside the dark.

What is encaustic wax?

Encaustic is an ancient painting process made with beeswax fused with pigment and sealed with heat. Layers are built and melted together, creating a durable, luminous surface with rich texture and depth.
