TANYA KIROUAC
I am an encaustic painter, deeply rooted in the visual language of landscapes and the natural world. Similar to the way nature builds up and washes away what it creates, I apply and remove layers of wax. Possibilities which had yet to be discovered rise and make themselves apparent. This process allows me to develop complex images in relief.
Encaustic has an inherent opacity. This quality creates transparancy which mirrors the fragility of our world. These transparancies give the completed works an almost dreamlike finish. A reminder of the possibility tht the objects of my inspiration can be fleeting and might one day exist only in my memory.
