Pure Encaustic (hot wax) on OSB plate

The montage-like theme combines the contradiction between the two buildings. One of the many dilapidated staircases of apartment buildings in VIII. district, Budapest. The other is the Parliament building in Budapest.
The building of Parliament is beautifully renovated and dominates the cityscape of the river Danube wharf. It totally deserves to be one of the gems of our city.
Our corrupt representatives who work in the parliament decide every day the fate of the people in the VIII. district. During their work, they dissipates and corrupts our taxes and EU grants while on the backstage they avoids the uncomfortable questions of independent journalists. Then they advertise their own propaganda in their government-friendly public media news about that Hungary performs better than ever, however, unfortunately, sometimes there is flood on river Danube…Nothing is perfect.

In recent years, I have used OSB as a basis. By retracting the paint layers, I use the texture of the veneer as part of my compositions to create a unique rustic industrial atmosphere. This is recycled art.
The painting is made with self-made paint, which basically consists of pigments and beeswax. Does not contain oil or other paints.
The procedure itself dates back to antiquity and has been known for thousands of years. Only few artists around the world work with wax on its own.

This work will be delivered with Care Instruction of my encaustic paintings and a signed certificate of authenticity. Carefully packaged and tracked shipping. I ship this works in cardboard boxes careful wrapped in bubble foil and protect the painting with cardboard.
If you like my paintings you can have a piece of art for your beloved place.

Dora Stork is a contemporary Hungarian artist. She gained international recognition as a selected artist in the London Art Biennale in 2023. An award-winning painter, Dora's art has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in prestigious venues across the UK, Hungary, and Romania. Her distinctive creations have found a home in private collections spanning the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Japan.

Identifying as an abstract realist encaustic painter, Dora Stork employs a unique artistic approach that involves using color in an abstract manner, portraying form in a realist fashion, and infusing her work with symbolic significance. Her paintings serve as a reflection of her keen interest in public life, as well as social and economic processes, offering viewers a thought-provoking perspective on these complex issues. Dora strives to construct dreamlike compositions that challenge perceptions, using incongruous details and peculiar circumstances to evoke a sense of familiarity.

Dora's chosen medium is hot wax painting, an ancient technique that imparts durability, vividness, and scratch resistance to her creations. Notably, she exclusively employs self-made wax media, without the addition of oil or other paints. The artist applies layers of hot wax paint with precision, controlling the flow to prevent unwanted color mixing.

In her recent works, Dora has embraced OSB (Oriented Strand Board) as a base for her encaustic pieces, appreciating its industrial texture and environmental sustainability derived from recycled wood. The unique patterns of the wood veneer contribute to a rustic industrial atmosphere that becomes an integral part of the composition, achieved by skillfully scraping back layers of paint. Each piece becomes a one-of-a-kind creation due to the distinctive pattern of the wood.

Dora Stork is an active member of various prestigious art organizations, including the Fine Arts Capital Art Society since 2023, the Society of Scottish Artists since 2021, the National Society of Fine and Applied Arts since 2010, and the Újpest Artist Society since 2009. Through her participation in these organizations, Dora continues to contribute to and engage with the vibrant art community, further solidifying her impact on the contemporary art scene.
