Elegant work by Julio Sendino titled “Qvadrum” made using the water encaustic technique. Abstract and geometric composition that evokes balance, harmony and solidity through colors and structured shapes. This painting will bring vibrant and contemplative energy to any space. This work has been a finalist in the VII Camarote Madrid Painting Contest 2019 in León. The central structure of the painting is reminiscent of symbolic architecture, a kind of altar or primary construction that stands on an earthy background. The upper part, with figures in dark broken tones, suggests an urban or mountainous silhouette that stands out against a golden sky. The lower vertical lines, almost hidden, reinforce the feeling of stability. The work plays with the perception of volume and two-dimensionality, giving rise to an open, spiritual or even ritual reading, where each shape seems to contain a hidden meaning.
About water encaustic:
Water encaustic is a painting technique that uses beeswax as a binder, but instead of being applied hot as in traditional encaustic, it is emulsified in water through the use of natural emulsifiers such as Marseille soap or borax. This allows you to obtain a stable pictorial paste when mixed with pigments, without the need for heat or solvents. The resulting paint is applied cold to porous supports such as wood, cardboard or prepared canvas, and when it dries it produces a matte, velvety and slightly water-resistant surface. Although it does not reach the intensity of shine or transparency of hot encaustic, it offers a very particular and natural texture. This technique has been recovered by contemporary artists who seek sustainable and less toxic processes. Its main advantage lies in the combination of the resistance and durability of wax with the accessibility of cold work, which makes it an attractive option both for its aesthetics and for its low environmental impact. Furthermore, by not requiring heat or solvents, it allows for a safer and more organic artistic experience, with unique finishes that reflect the materiality of the elements used.
About Julio Sendino:
Julio Sendino is an artist from Valladolid whose training in drawing and painting has allowed him to develop his artistic work through various forms of expression, playing with the figurative and the abstract.
Geometric abstraction is one of the currents of abstract art, which emerged around the 1920s and is based on the use of simple geometric shapes, which are combined in subjective compositions. It is also an exaltation of two-dimensionality and a criticism of the efforts of artists of previous movements to represent a reality in three dimensions. Wassily Kandinsky is the most recognized and influential artist, followed by Malevich, Mondrian\.
