Encaustic and mixed media on Wooden Panel Tidal Ocean, waves, stormy sea, royal blue, the journey is about to begin. Framed in a metallic wood silver shadow box frame. Katja Wittmer has been exploring the ancient medium of encaustic, where beeswax and resin are melted, coloured with pigment, and then solidified again. This exciting medium offers a huge element of spontaneity, and challenges the artist in merging the different wax layers in a controlled way. The various layers create an intriguing depth and luminosity for the viewer to explore.

Presentation
I create Art to explore my own emotional abyss and through my work I encourage others to do the same. My paintings are multi layered, merging both abstract and figurative elements, with a strong emphasis on colour and how colour drives personal associations. The central theme in my work is "looking behind the curtain", as I am fascinated by the exploration of the hidden. I work with bold colours and strong textures to provoke movement, elicit mysticism, and engage the viewer's subconscious.
I work in acrylic and mixed media on Canvas and encaustic and oils on wood. My style is provocative and engaging. I create multiple layers and structures, suggesting movement and change.
In my paintings I explore the complex facets of humankind- highs and lows, light and shadows, beauty and distortion, love and hate.
