Description
“Airy Spirit Angel” by Diane Larouche Ellard is filled with ethereal beauty in an abstract encaustic and mixed media painting. This piece evokes the graceful flight of wings, whether they belong to celestial angels, floating birds, or the vitality of the human spirit. It’s an ode to the boundless freedom found in the open sky. With layers of encaustic wax and a blend of collage elements, this artwork tells a story of liberation and transcendence. The interplay of colours and textures suggests a dance mirroring the soaring being within us all.
Diane Larouche Ellard makes her encaustic paintings with beeswax, damar resin (a natural tree sap that acts as a hardening agent), oil paint, and other media. She works in layers, fusing each layer with heat. Her collages use paper from old books, music, newspapers, and journals. She begins by laying out the collage, playing with the pieces of paper and making a horizon. From there she builds up layers of encaustic medium, ink, oil stick, and pan pastel. Diane’s process is intuitive, allowing the nature of her chosen media and collage to guide her process.
