Pure encaustic, hot wax, and pigments on OSB
This artwork is part of my Hungary Today Series, expresses my hopes that the series of failures in changing the current political system would have been interrupted. I started painting it before the 2018 election, but I wasn’t able to finish it. After the 2018 elections in Hungary, the populist-nationalist party won a constitutional majority again within the House. I finished the painting in 2019 with enthusiasm for the upcoming municipal elections.
In recent years, I have used OSB as a basis. By retracting the paint layers, I use the texture of the veneer as part of my compositions to create a unique rustic industrial atmosphere. Due to the OSB board, these works of art are very stable but heavy. This is recycled art.
The painting is made with self-made paint, which basically consists of pigments and beeswax. Does not contain oil or other paints.
The procedure itself dates back to antiquity and has been known for thousands of years. Only a few artists around the world work with wax on their own.
This work will be delivered with Care Instruction of my encaustic paintings and a signed certificate of authenticity. Carefully packaged and tracked shipping. I ship this works in cardboard boxes carefully wrapped in bubble foil and protecting the painting with cardboard.
