Walk Like An Egyptian

Created with oil paint, cold wax, and gold leaf on Encaustiflex — a microfiber material made from recycled soda bottles mounted on a cradled panel — this piece is ready to hang. Walk Like an Egyptian is an abstract geometric composition built from interlocking curved and rectilinear forms. Rendered in a warm, earthy palette of ochre, sand, taupe, and muted cream, the painting evokes an architectural rhythm that feels both ancient and modern. Subtle surface texture and tonal shifts create depth and movement, while repeated rounded forms create a sense of balance, continuity, and quiet tension. The overall effect is calm, grounded, and structural, with shapes that seem to weave in and out across the surface. Gold leaf edges provide a refined finish and subtle luminosity, enhancing the warmth of the palette.
