Mixed Media Dragonfly Encaustic Assemblage

This contemporary mixed media artwork features a central dragonfly motif, executed in a complex layered assemblage. The central panel displays a stylized dragonfly with detailed veined wings, set against a background of golden floral outlines on a light ground. This inner panel is bordered by a metallic or silver-toned frame and mounted onto a secondary rectangular layer finished with an expressive teal and gold marbled encaustic or resin pour. The entire composition is set into a deep black shadow-box style frame. Extending beyond the inner panels onto the black field are irregular, hand-formed sculptural wire or solder elements that create a sense of movement and depth. The materials appear to include wood, epoxy resin or encaustic wax, metallic leaf, and industrial wire. The piece showcases high-quality craftsmanship through its textural contrast and depth of field. Condition appears excellent with no visible surface abrasions or cracking. The style is modern organic, likely dating from the 21st century. The use of varied textures—from the smooth glossy resin to the tactile wire—indicates a professional artist's hand, prioritizing layered visual storytelling and contemporary aesthetic appeal.
