Timeless Texture
Encaustic
Size: 10 x 8
This body of work is an exploration of the universal allure and symbolic significance of entry doors from diverse cultures around the world. As a traveler deeply attuned to the visual narratives embedded in architectural details, I have always been captivated by the intricate designs and historical echoes encapsulated within these humble thresholds.
Photographing doors from bustling cityscapes to remote villages, I seek to capture not just their physical presence but the stories they silently hold. Each photograph serves as a portal, inviting viewers to contemplate the cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and societal nuances reflected in these everyday yet extraordinary structures.
Inspired by these photographic narratives, I translate the essence of each door into encaustic paintings, employing this ancient wax painting technique to imbue my paintings with layers of texture, color, and symbolism. Through the meticulous process of encaustic, I aim to evoke a sense of nostalgia, curiosity, and wonder—inviting viewers to peer beyond the surface and envision the worlds that lie beyond each door.
