Encaustic Collage – “After Klimt: Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II”
6 x 24 x 1.5 inches – Mixed Media on Panel
This handmade encaustic collage is a contemporary recreation of Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II. Every element is crafted by hand, from the richly painted papers to the layers of pigmented beeswax that create the signature depth and luminosity of the encaustic medium. Subtle additions of mica and miniature pearl buttons catch the light, infusing the surface with a delicate, glistening shimmer that echoes Klimt’s opulent style.
A striking blend of modern craftsmanship and timeless artistry, this piece offers a tactile, multidimensional interpretation of a classic masterpiece.
