Georgia Nassikas Head Shot

Artist Georgia Nassikas heats and mixes wax from her honeybee hives, damar crystals from fir trees, and color pigments from around the world to create her encaustics paintings. Her art is that “of the earth” pursuing elemental forms, color, symmetry and emotion.

Working out of her McLean, Virginia studio, Georgia’s work can be found in private and public collections throughout the US, Europe, South America, Greece & Australia.

Taking flight. Shadows lift the birds into light. This sculpture suddenly goes from static to dynamic. Funny how a moment can so fully capture movement.

Pattern. Light and dark. Warm and cool. Calm and chaos.

Sneak peak of a sweet little painting coming up in Fahrenheit, an art exhibition of three artists working in encaustic. As you might guess, my series of paintings addresses the dramatic beauty of the Arctic and the what could be lost by colossal inaction. #arctic #climatechange #notimelikethepresent

A View Beyond. I use beeswax, pigment, and damar —the three elements of what makes an encaustic painting, a style modernized by the American painter Jasper Johns. His encaustic works were definitely an inspiration for my own pursuit of this form of painting. I painted this on heavy duty Arches paper. Come see it at Intersections, a one day art show with four other artists in Great Falls VA on April 9.
