Alisa Marie Artist Statement
My artistic journey begins with molten beeswax — the heart of my encaustic paintings. Working with my own handcrafted paints, I embrace the medium’s fluidity and luminosity to create depth and movement that speak to the soul. Through years of exploration, I’ve developed unique techniques for layering and guiding wax, where each layer tells its own story, building rich textures and unexpected color harmonies that emerge naturally from the process.
Color is at the core of my artistic vision. Every shade holds its own energy, transforming spaces and evoking deep emotions. Inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s fearless use of color and Frida Kahlo’s raw emotional storytelling, I pour both joy and vulnerability into each piece.
My mantra, "Shine your light and color your world," reflects my artistic philosophy and creative mission. Through my encaustic paintings, jewelry, and designs, I create pieces that awaken joy, stir memory, and invite others to experience the transformative power of color in their own lives.
