Concept-driven encaustic works dealing with political and social tension
In this group, I use encaustic not just for texture, but to embed contradiction. These works deal with surveillance, disillusionment, war, and ideology—yet always leave room for ambiguity. The slow process of building layers mirrors how meaning is constructed, obscured, and revealed in political life.

"Divided Promised Land" reflects on landscapes shaped by borders, memory, and human presence. Expressive encaustic layers and luminous reflections transform a familiar scene into a meditation on separation and belonging.

"Cards Castle" combines the façade of the Hungarian Parliament with a fragile house of Hungarian playing cards. The monumental architecture and the precarious structure stand in deliberate contrast, reflecting how institutions that appear solid may ultimately depend on fragile foundations. Like a house of cards, stability endures only while every supporting element remains in place.

"Screaming" depicts a solitary raven perched on a barbed-wire fence post, its dark form set against a raw, weathered surface. Layered encaustic textures and muted colours intensify the harshness of the scene, turning the bird into a charged presence rather than a peaceful natural motif.

“The Black Horse” conveys a sense of raw force and forward momentum through layered encaustic textures and deep, shifting tones. The composition balances power and abstraction, allowing the figure to emerge from a field of motion, light, and shadow.

"The End of the Game" uses chess as a visual metaphor for power struggles, strategy, and the consequences of human decisions. Rather than illustrating a specific story, the composition invites reflection on ambition, conflict, and the moment when every game reaches its conclusion.
