Silk Road 409, Cobalt Blue, Purple, Teal Square Color Field Encaustic Painting
Located in Kent, CT
A deep, bright cobalt blue encaustic (pigmented beeswax) painting with light purple and vibrant teal accents on birch panel. Signed, dated and titled on verso. Joanne Mattera’s paintings can be described as lush minimalism, the work is chromatically rich and compositionally reductive. Each painting in the ongoing Silk Road series is a small color field achieved by layers of translucent wax paint applied at right angles. The series, began in 2005, was inspired by the iridescent hues of slubbed silk, hence the title, but very quickly evolved into a more expansive exploration of color. In plying the richness of the encaustic paint against the austerity of a very subtle grid the artist sets in motion a dynamic in which color and texture jostle for primacy. A decade and almost 300 paintings later, the artist is still enthralled with this exploration. Mattera is the foremost expert in the field of encaustic painting and is the founder and former director of the International Encaustic Conference. Her artwork is in the collections of The New Britain Museum of Contemporary Art, US Embassies (Slovenia and Poland), US State Department, Bank of America, and Norwegian Cruise Lines, to name a few as well as numerous private collections. Mattera writes a contemporary art blog, she is a frequent guest speaker and curator and is a member of American Abstract Artists (NYC). The artist lives and works in MA and in NYC. Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The word comes originally from the Greek word “enkaustikis” meaning to “burn in” and the process dates back to the 5th century. The liquid or paste is applied to a surface —usually prepared wood.

"Waiting", Original Encaustic Figurative Abstract, Figure in Warm Red Palette
By Rinat Goren
Located in Carmel, CA
Rinat Goren (Israeli, American, born 1964) "Waiting" 2023 Encaustic paint on cradled wood panel The artist signed the bottom right corner of the painting. “Waiting” is a refined, contemporary figurative-abstract encaustic work. The composition centers on a stylized female figure set against a richly layered grid of warm reds, oranges, and golden tones. The figure is integrated into the architectural structure of the painting, appearing both present and suspended within the surrounding geometry. Goren’s encaustic technique builds luminous depth through translucent wax layers, incised lines, and embedded shapes. The grid-like background evokes urban systems, schedules, and quiet rhythms, while the elongated figure introduces a human pause within this ordered framework. Her posture suggests stillness and anticipation, reinforcing the painting’s title and emotional undercurrent. Balancing abstraction with figuration, “Waiting” reflects Goren’s ongoing exploration of time, presence, and human experience within structured environments. The warm palette and tactile surface give the work an inviting yet contemplative quality. About the Artist: Rinat Goren is an Israeli-American artist based in California whose contemporary encaustic works explore the relationship between thought, structure, and emotion. Born in Israel and residing most of her life in the U.S., Goren has long been drawn to both observation and creation, translating the complexity of the human mind into layered visual compositions. Her encaustic paintings—formed by applying molten beeswax mixed with pigment—evoke a tactile, sensory experience that reflects her fascination with systems, decision-making, and the creative act itself. She works with geometry, color, and abstraction to celebrate our innate capacity to reflect, choose, and act with intention. Goren’s process is rooted in one of the world’s oldest painting...

"'I' if For Individuals", Colorful Contemporary Encaustic Figurative Painting
By Rinat Goren
Located in Carmel, CA
Rinat Goren (Israeli, American, born 1964) "'I' is For Individuals" 2023 Encaustic paint on cradled wood panel The artist signed the bottom right corner of the painting. “I Is for Individuals” is a contemplative piece by Rinat Goren. Rendered in encaustic, the work features a rhythmic field of softly silhouetted human figures interspersed with horizontal bands of warm ochre, rust, and muted red. The palette is restrained yet expressive, allowing form, spacing, and repetition to carry the emotional weight of the composition. Goren’s signature encaustic technique creates a luminous, layered surface in which wax, pigment, and drawing coexist. The figures appear both distinct and anonymous, suspended within a subtle grid that suggests structure, systems, and shared space. Each figure maintains its own posture and presence, reinforcing the theme of individuality within a collective environment. Conceptually, the work reflects on identity, autonomy, and coexistence. The title underscores this tension, emphasizing the singular “I” while situating it within a larger context. “I Is for Individuals” exemplifies Goren’s ability to merge abstraction and figuration into a quiet, psychologically resonant visual language. About the Artist: Rinat Goren is an Israeli-American artist based in California whose contemporary encaustic works explore the relationship between thought, structure, and emotion.
