Dusk Falls Darkly

Description
"Dusk Falls Darkly" is an original encaustic painting created by San Diego artist Shima Shanti. Her aesthetic is minimal and simple in composition created from all-natural earth elements: organic beeswax, earth pigments, fire-tree sap called damar and Russian Baltic birch panels -- all a quite whisper to the authenticity and integrity of her work. Her earth-tone palette is neutral, deep, and rich. In this simplicity, unexpected levels of complexity surface. The patina and texure is storied, translucent and luminous. Beeswax is nature's best preservative, impervious to moisture, decay, and uv light. The small amount of damar raises the melting temperature and gives the painting a patina and hardness.
