Shima Shanti
American, b. 1954
San Diego artist, Shima Shanti is an Encaustic painter working in the ancient art form of painting with beeswax and fusing with fire. She paints visions of Peace revealing what lies beyond appearance free of the confines of perception.
Shima holds a special reverence for the unseen details in the complex and labor-intensive encaustic process. Her minimal aesthetic and use of earth-tone palettes neutral, deep, and rich suggest simplicity. In this simplicity, unexpected levels of complexity surface. Shima's choice of all natural earth elements; organic beeswax, earth pigments, fire-tree sap Damar, and Russian Baltic birch wood panels is a quiet whisper to the authenticity and integrity of her work.
Shima's inspiration is borne from growing up in the endless abundance of water and big sky of Montana. Her connection to nature has gifted her with an innate sense of color and composition. Today in the lakeside hamlet of Del Dios near San Diego the timeless joy of lost hours in her studio and the simple pleasures of outdoor balance the business demands and travel of her artist career.(Biography provided by Shima Shanti)
