Cynthia Makara
I work with encaustic, a combination of beeswax, damar resin and pigments. I fell in love with the finish, the smell and viscosity of these medium is very different from other painting techniques.
My work is inspired by the beauty of nature, skies are my favourite subject to paint, most of them originated on the western skies of the prairies. My paintings are peaceful and relaxing, they tell the glory of the sky and its magnificence.
I love the texture and to explore the volume of the material.
I initiated my professional career in Argentina, were I was born, as a Graphic Designer with a Bachelor’s Degree in Packaging Design. I see the objects in my surroundings and space as a whole, focusing on simplifying shapes and filling them with vibrant colours, with my own vision and love for arts and design.
I moved to Alberta in 2005, and continue my development as an artist participating in different associations and workshops. Introduced to encaustic medium in 2009, I committed myself to evolve and perfect this unique technique.
