Two-part black circular resin and encaustic artwork displayed above a console

Resin & Encaustic

Resin encaustic art combines the depth and durability of resin with the soft, tactile finish of wax. Donna O’Donoghue’s contemporary abstract resin and wax artworks explore this contrast between strength and softness, retaining the luminosity and layered depth of resin without its highly polished surface. The wax creates a smooth, understated finish that responds gently to changing light, revealing subtle textures and tonal variations. These original mixed-media artworks represent an experimental evolution of resin art by a contemporary New Zealand artist.

Available Works

Emergence

Emergence Emergence brings together a weathered gold form and a dark central core. The lightbox set behind the centre gives the piece a quiet internal glow, drawing attention to its sculptural, organic shape. Though made with resin, its encaustic finish is soft and wax-like rather than glossy.
