”GOLDEN SAND DUNES” is an original encaustic painting inspired by the desert’s shifting sand dunes. Painted with hot wax on a special encaustic cards type board using a hot iron and heated tools. Framed.
Life is a desert of shifting sand dunes. It is as unpredictable and erratic as encaustic painting can be; where appearance outlives the profound and where dreams substitute reality. It is what happened when my iron with white and blue wax glided over the encaustic card’s golden background. It’s sunset time. The shades of the blue color make us feel that the temperatures are nearing the more comfortable time of the day. The reflection of the light from the golden background offers a sensation of a mirage in this magnificent desert.

"POSEIDON" is an original encaustic painting inspired by the sea’s mood and aquatic colors.
This encaustic piece combines many shades of green and yellow colors and transforms them into waves of sunrays and seaweed. Through this, you can see the sea when it is stormy and wild, calm and serene and when it is dark and moody. You can see the God of the Oceans himself amongst all of these moods. It is just amazing how unpredictable the touches of the hot wax can be when doing the artist’s job in a mysterious way. He wanted to be seen and now you can see Him…The “POSEIDON”.

“The Beauty of Yosemite” is a unique wax painting where the layers of textured wax express well the power of the vast edifice of stone of this incredible place. The thin layers of glittery wax express the dynamic of water. The greenish of water vividly shows the absorption of the surrounding environmental green and the presence of yellow - the brightness of the sun. For me, like for Ansel Adams, Yosemite Valley, is always a sunrise, glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.”

Painted with hot wax on a special encaustic card type board using a hot iron and heated tools. Framed as in picture.
I like these cold gray winter days. I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again!"

“FOREST OF POEMS“ is an original encaustic poem “written” on a copper-metallic card. This type of backing produces a brightness and sparkle to the piece, especially under direct light.
It was done by using hot wax as a media, hot iron and heated tools. Framed.
This “wax poem” is full of light and continuity while rich with warmth and poetic colors. This is where trees are poems that the earth writes on the sky, where every word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. With every step that moves you deeper into the forest, you will get closer to yourself and to your inner soul and love. Just by entering this beautiful forest, you could find the purest way to the universe … to your universe.

”THE FAIRY OF THE BIRCH FOREST” is an original encaustic painting, painted on an encaustic backing board, inspired by a birch forest where the birch trees look like a brotherhood of ghosts.
When one makes a mess on an encaustic background and starts losing the initial direction in this mess while trying desperately to remove the wax with the iron edge, it magically turns into a birch forest where the birch trees look like a brotherhood of ghosts. That's where you lose your mind, but you find your soul which is full of power, hopefulness, and revival in each leaf, in each thread of grass, in every ray of light and shade ... in eac

A ROAD TO NOWHERE is an original encaustic painting, painted with hot wax on a special encaustic backing board using a hot iron and heated tools. Framed.
Least once in a while, each of us has asked ourselves what is the meaning of life? The meaning of life is a philosophical question about the meaning of life or existence in general. This question can also be expressed in various forms, such as "Why are we here?", "What is life in general?", "What is the purpose of existence?" and "What are we?" This has been the subject of much philosophical, scientific, and theological speculation throughout history.
For the same reasons we try to understand where we come from and where we are going.
There were a large number of proposed answers to these questions but no one answer was a complete one and because that it doesn't matter where you are. Because you are nowhere compared to where you can go.
But don't forget. The road that leads to nowhere for others might just be the road that leads to somewhere for you. Find your road and follow it.
