Michael Gresalfi Art

I primarily work with encaustic medium (and occasionally with oils and acrylics too) on various mediums, to include canvas, fiberboard, wood and most recently mirrors. My style moves between semi-realism, as in my ‘flower series’, to more expressionistic and abstract styles, as in my ‘reflection series’. In fact, my most recent series utilizes large framed mirrors as the canvas for my encaustic wax artistry. Within the ‘reflection series’ , I leave small strategic areas open (allowing the mirror to be exposed) in each finished work, in order to allow the next owner to also contribute to the work (a co-artist of sorts). The location or placement of my mirror-based paintings creates unique reflections inside the painting; once the art is positioned and installed by the next owner.
