Inner Echoes | Water soluble wax crayon on canvas board 127x179 mm

There’s something magnetic about this small yet powerful composition. Layers of water-soluble wax crayon bleed and merge into one another, forming a textured surface alive with movement. At the centre, a radiant white oval emerges, pulsating against a halo of rich reds, deep purples, and earthy greens. It feels organic, almost like a portal—an invitation to introspection.  

The painting is an exploration of the unique qualities of this medium, where pigment dissolves and reconstitutes, creating unpredictable, atmospheric effects. The gesso-primed canvas board enhances the depth of colour, allowing light to catch on its rough surface. Despite its modest scale (5 x 7 inches), this piece commands attention, its tactile energy drawing you in. It is part of a series that experiments with water-soluble wax crayons, pushing their fluidity and vibrancy to the limits.  

Whether placed on a desk, a shelf, or framed on a wall, this artwork offers a glimpse into an ephemeral, shifting world—one where colour and form dissolve into emotion. A statement piece in its own right, it invites reflection and curiosity, bringing a moment of abstract serenity into any space.
