Encaustic, natural pigments, hemp twine and rock crystals on birch cradle board

These companion encaustic paintings, 1 and 2, symbolize the balance of masculine and feminine energies. Crafted with semi-precious stones, mother of pearl, shell, crystals, and hemp rope, each piece radiates a distinct aura of color and energy. The use of encaustic wax enhances the natural textures of the materials, creating layers that seem to breathe life into the figures they represent. The subtle interplay between the materials and colors evokes a spiritual connection, celebrating harmony and duality. Though small in size, these paintings carry immense presence, embodying the timeless union of opposing yet complementary forces.
