Wax

Wax art, often called encaustic, is a tactile medium created by fusing pigmented wax to a surface using heat. Artists build layers, embed materials, and manipulate texture, producing work with visual depth and a distinctive luminous quality.

The medium encourages experimentation and physical engagement with materials, balancing control and spontaneity. Wax art appeals to artists drawn to texture, layering, and process-driven creativity with lasting, expressive results.
