About this artwork
In this work, I wanted to capture the mysterious ambivalence between strength and vulnerability. The mixture of wax, graphite, and pigments creates an organic, fragile yet vibrant texture that engages in a dialogue with the expressive face of this figure. Its profound gaze invites intimate reflection, filled with past and present emotions. Imagine it illuminating your home with its melancholic and poetic aura, bringing an energy that is both gentle…
and intense. Framed, it measures 32 x 32 cm.
The word "encaustic" comes from the Greek word enkaustikos, meaning "to burn" or "to heat." The wax, usually purified beeswax, is mixed with colored pigments. To make the mixture workable and fluid, it must be heated and maintained at a high temperature, with the addition of resins such as dammar to harden the wax and improve its durability.

Credentials

Véronique Enée, working under the artist name Vebenee, combines training in literature, art history, fashion design, and fine arts. Mastering ancient encaustic, she fuses this technique with contemporary processes, creating works that oscillate between tradition and modernity. Her striking abstract-figurative creations, blending symbolism and female portraiture, exude a visual tension. Embracing themes of femininity and vanity, her dreamlike interplay between the fragile beauty of life and the presence of death inspires a sense of wonder tinged with melancholy.
