Encaustic and mixed media on Wooden Panel
Winter is coming. Water and Air showing a unique dynamic interplay of shape, movement and colour, suggesting the frost of icy winter days is approaching.
Katja Wittmer has been exploring the ancient medium of encaustic, where beeswax and resin are melted, coloured with pigment, and then solidified again. This exciting medium offers a huge element of spontaneity, and challenges the artist in merging the different wax layers in a controlled way. The various layers create an intriguing depth and luminosity for the viewer to explore.
