LAYERED. INTUITIVE. ELEMENTAL

​Encaustic Process

Video of Ivette's encaustic process

Ivette’s creative process is physical, intuitive, and layered—a dance between presence and possibility. Her encaustic work is created with molten beeswax, damar resin, and pigment—fused with a flame, one layer at a time. The result is luminous, dimensional, and alive with movement. Each painting carries depth you can feel, with textures that shift depending on the light and your own emotional landscape.
​
The encaustic technique she uses dates back to ancient times—once used to seal warships and later, to adorn them. Ivette’s use of it today is less about preservation and more about transformation: melting, fusing, and revealing meaning through material.
​
​Every painting is a process of adding and stripping away—an intuitive dialogue between what’s revealed and what remains hidden.

​A Note on Process 

Not all of Ivette’s work is encaustic. Some pieces are Mixed Media, created with acrylic, oil, pastel, or watercolor—layered with a palette knife, built from emotion rather than heat.

Where encaustic is elemental and meditative, these mixed media works are more instinctual—raw expressions from the soul. Each process speaks a different language. One whispers. The other roars.
​
Both seek beauty.
Both reveal truth.

​The Collector’s Note

This is more than art.
It’s memory, sensation, subconscious, and symbol—distilled.

Each piece you see is a portal. Some carry whispers. Some, clarity. Some ask you to look again.
They are meant to live with you, shift with you, reflect you. You don’t need to understand them.
You just need to feel something.
​
Let your body recognize what your mind doesn’t yet know.
That’s how you’ll know it’s yours.
