Wood panels, Encaustic paints, paper. 12" x 22" inches. By Camp Fluff San Francisco artist Rinat Goren. Rinat works with encaustic, a painting technique that blends melted beeswax with pigment, applied in layers and fused with heat. This ancient process, dating back to the 5th century B.C., allows Rinat to build richly textured surfaces that hold both depth and emotion.
