About this artwork
I am a contemporary encaustic painter working in the ancient art form of painting with molten beeswax and fusing with fire. "Efflorescence" is inspired by the deep well of stillness. The merging of all and nothing. This sheer absence conveys oneness and peace. Up to 50 layers of molten beeswax mixed with earth pigments are painted on custom-made Russian Baltic birch panel then each layer is fused with the flame of a torch. The unique beauty of encaustic…
are bubbles, ripples and markings on the smooth-texture, high-gloss surface. Choosing of all natural earth elements combined with my minimal aesthetic create patina and texture that is storied, translucent, and luminous. In this simplicity unexpected levels of complexity surface. My inspiration is borne from growing up in the endless abundance of water and big sky of Montana. This connection to nature has gifted me with an innate sense of color and composition.

Shima Shanti, an encaustic fine artist, interlaces her corporate and philosophical background with her profound connection to nature. She layers purified molten beeswax, earth pigments, and flame to reveal textured, iridescent visions that teeter between the abstract and the real. Her work evokes a serene introspection, setting free emotions linked to nature's elemental beauty.
