ENCAUSTIC SCULPTURE SERIES

"Life on a Reef"



Krempa's sculptures are created with beeswax encaustic paints that are heated then manipulated by scraping, rolling, carving and using the paint to build multiple layers and levels. These solid encaustic sculptures are mounted with
steel rods that are bored into a rock base, or directly onto the rock.

This sculptural series,"Life on a Reef", are his vision of life on an ocean reef.

beeswax, damar resin and pigment. The colors are vibrant and brilliant and will not deteriorate, yellow or darken.
