THE ENCAUSTIC TECNICHE

The encaustic technique is an ancient painting method that uses heated beeswax as a binder for pigments. The term "encaustic" comes from the Greek *enkaustikos*, meaning "to burn," as the color is fixed through the application of heat.

The main advantages of encaustic painting are its brilliance, durability, resistance to moisture, and its unique effect of depth and transparency. However, its complexity and the need to work with heat make it less common than other techniques such as fresco or tempera.

To create an encaustic painting, the artist melts wax and mixes it with pigments before applying it to the surface with brushes or palette knives. Heat is then used to fuse and fix the colors, resulting in a smooth and durable finish.

Today, the encaustic technique is being rediscovered by contemporary artists who use it to create innovative and experimental works.
