The inspiration behind "Rain" is the sight of water pooling on windows during a downpour. Its unique creation process involves a technique called encaustic wax monotype. Beeswax crayons—made of beeswax, pigment, and resin—are melted on a hot metal plate. Silicon tools shape the design, which is then transferred onto fine Japanese rice paper. This method results in a vibrant monoprint that evokes the fluidity and unpredictability of rain.
The artwork titled "Rain" is a 12 x 16 abstract painting that encapsulates the essence of rainfall. Created using encaustic wax on Japanese rice paper, the piece presents an interplay of blue and white tones. Various shades of blue form a fluid and dynamic composition, highlighting organic, flowing forms. Circular and elongated shapes interact to convey depth and movement, resembling a wash of watercolor or ink. This results in an expressive and spontaneous visual journey.
This encaustic wax monotype on Japanese paper is mounted on a simple mat-board frame in a protective plastic sleeve.
