This style of portrait is one of my favourites. What I find amazing is that this series of portraits is quite close to the ones of Pompei, or even Byzantium
And by the way, since I am in Belgium for the moment, where will that exposition take place? I would love to see it !

Absolutely lovely! Encaustics are a medium I find super fascinating, but I could never get into them. THey're way too high maintenance for my tastes. That being said, I really appreciate your proficiency with them.

Aha, yes, it's really difficult to keep patience with them. Oversee the heat, increase at the good moment, wait for the wax liquidity with sufficient heat, no burn pigments, etc...Fiou. I like to quickly paint so encaustic is a torture for me! But it's to have very interisting works at the end. And I am happy to see how people appreciate them. How like you say, they're fascinating!
