Technique: Water Encaustic Title of the Work: “Qvadrum” Author: Julio Sendino Signed in the lower left corner Style: Contemporary Art / Valladolid School Year: 2019 Country of Origin: Spain Good condition according to its age and use Total Dimensions: 73 x 73 x 2.5 cm. Elegant work by Julio Sendino titled “Qvadrum” made using the water encaustic technique. Abstract and geometric composition that evokes balance, harmony and solidity through colors and structured shapes. This painting will bring a vibrant and contemplative energy to any space. This work was a finalist in the VII Camarote Madrid Painting Competition 2019 in León. The central structure of the painting is reminiscent of symbolic architecture, a sort of altar or primary construction that rises against an earthy background. The upper part, with figures in broken dark tones, suggests an urban or mountainous silhouette that stands out against a golden sky. The almost hidden vertical lines below reinforce the sense of stability. The work plays with the perception of volume and two-dimensionality, giving rise to an open, spiritual, or even ritual interpretation, where each form seems to contain a hidden meaning. About Water Encaustic: Water encaustic is a painting technique that uses beeswax as a binder, but instead of applying it hot as in traditional encaustic, it is emulsified in water through the use of natural emulsifiers such as Marseille soap or borax. This allows for a stable painting paste when mixed with pigments, without the need for heat or solvents. The resulting paint is applied cold to porous supports such as wood, cardboard, or prepared canvas, and when dry, produces a matte, velvety, and slightly water-resistant surface. Although it does not achieve the intensity of shine or transparency of hot encaustic, it offers a very distinctive and natural texture. This technique has been revived by contemporary artists seeking sustainable and less toxic processes. Its main advantage lies in the combination of the strength and durability of wax with the accessibility of cold working, making it an attractive option both for its aesthetics and its low environmental impact. Furthermore, since it does not require heat or solvents, it allows for a safer and more organic artistic experience, with unique finishes that reflect the materiality of the elements used. About Julio Sendino: Julio Sendino is an artist from Valladolid whose training in drawing and painting has allowed him to develop his artistic work through various forms of expression, playing with the figurative and the abstract. Geometric abstraction is one of the currents of abstract art, which emerged around the 1920s and is based on the use of simple geometric forms, combined in subjective compositions. It is also an exaltation of two-dimensionality and a critique of the efforts of artists from previous movements to represent reality in three dimensions. Wassily Kandinsky is the most recognized and influential artist, followed by Malevich, Mondrian... DUE TO THE DIMENSIONS OF THE ARTWORK, IT IS PREFERRED TO AGREE ON SHIPPING WITH THE BUYER.
