Ethereal Dawn
Sofia Andersson, 2024
Oil on canvas
Oil and wax on linen
220 × 180 cm
Oil and wax create luminous surfaces where form and light converge.
Convergence showcases Sofia Andersson's innovative technique combining traditional oil paint with encaustic wax. The result is a surface of remarkable luminosity and depth, where color seems to glow from within the painting rather than sitting on its surface.
The title refers to multiple convergences: the meeting of materials and methods, the intersection of abstract and representational impulses, the moment when viewer and artwork connect across space and time.
This monumental painting anchors any space it occupies, commanding attention while rewarding prolonged contemplation.
