This artwork is part of my Hungary Today Series, expresses my hopes that the series of failures in changing the current political system would have been interrupted. I started painting it before the 2018 election, but I wasn’t able to finish it. After the 2018 elections in Hungary, the populist-nationalist party won a constitutional majority again within the House. I finished the painting in 2019 with enthusiasm for the upcoming municipal elections.
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. Due to the OSB plate, these artworks are heavy.
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 a few artists around the world work with wax on their 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 carefully wrapped in bubble foil and protecting the painting with cardboard. If you like my paintings you can have a piece of art for your beloved place.
Thanks for your considering me!

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.
