About this artwork
Encaustic and mixed media on Wooden Panel
Unexpected emotions arising. Bold colours disappearing into the void
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.

« In my paintings, I explore the complex facets of humankind, the highs and lows, light and shadows, beauty and distortion, love and hate. »
