Encaustic painting is a unique & ancient technique that involves using heated beeswax mixed with pigments to create artwork. The word "encaustic" comes from the Greek word "enkaustikos," which means "to burn in", dating back to ancient Egypt and Greece.
"I am motivated by the enjoyment and excitement of allowing images to appear, manipulating the material, pushing and pulling pigment across the surface of the canvas or paper.
It is very important for me not to have a recognizable image but rather ambiguous, enigmatic forms. The mystery is significant of life, religion, the unknown and undecipherable. Intangible things that trigger the imagination, shapes that have the presence and not the lineaments of objects. I work from my intuition finding ways to contact the subconscious so as to reach the collective unconscious." Regi Bardavid
